Wireless Network Security

Posted: 01-12-2008, 05:21 PM
I have a Toshiba laptop that is connected to a wireless network in my home.
My concern is security for this computer. I have been reading alot of
articles on the internet concerning security, and most suggest several
things, one being encryption, The others are enabeling static ip address and
wireless mac address filtering. I contacted Verizon and asked them to help
me secure this connection to my laptop and they enabled WEP and assigned a
key. I then asked about the other two options mentioned above and they said
all i needed was WEP enabled. Finally my question: Is that enough? I would
appreciate some advice before calling Verizon back. Thank you
