Congrats on getting some wireless action going! I know I really enjoy having wireless capability... I'm not stuck in the basement all the time (just most of it [img]smile.gif[/img] ).

Now, for your question... okay, what is your question? I mean, wireless programs... they're just programs you run to interact with another computer. Email, internet, multi-player gaming, accessing a printer or hard drive on another machine... they're all ways you use wireless.

If you're talking about security, start with the first three things I mentioned in the other post -- don't broadcast your SSID, use WEP (wireless encryption, and lock access down to your MAC address. Firewalls and other things belong here as well, but those first three steps go a long way [img]smile.gif[/img]

Ask a more detailed question, and you'll get a more detailed answer. Promise...
