================
    Hello Robert, nice talking to you !  

 RF> No, her IP is unique to her machine, just as the IPs of each machine
 RF> are.  These IPs are either assigned by the DHCP server or done
 RF> manually.
 
        Robert, I have been off the keyboard for a few days, sorry. I
   disagree with your saying that her IP is different. Where I was
   last week, using a Mac airport, if I were to do the Command ->
   IPCONFIG, I would get an IP or 10.0.1.4, and so would she. If I do
   this command here, I get a MAC for all different machines. This NIC
   is 192.168.0.129 and the gateway is .1. How come I do not get any
   of these figures when using the MAC AP ?

        NB: I just checked my router and the 192..string is the IP,
   the MAC is quite different. Sorry. So I am still quite confused.

 RF> Nope, your still confused.  I'm not talking about the IP that is
 RF> assigned by your ISP ("her's is the same as mine").  I'm talking about
 RF> the IPs that your network DHCP server (router) provides to each
 RF> machine connected to it.  Those have the format of 192.168.2.XXX,
 RF> typically.  Each of these IPs is associated with the MAC address of
 RF> the hardware (machine's NIC, etc.) to which it is assigned.
 
        If I get the same 10.0.1.4 as she does, I think that this
   would be the assigned IP from the ISP, how else can we both see the
   same result. And doing this on the Mac AP will not give out the MAC
   at all. The MAC assigned here are all 192.168.0.xxx, not a .2 as
   you wrote.
 
 RF> It also follows then, that should one wish to limit firewall
 RF> permissions to a certain group of IPs, he would probably disable DHCP
 RF> and manually assign all of the IPs.  I recall you mentioning that you
 RF> had restricted the firewall permissions to (perhaps) the active IPs
 RF> only, but don't recall you ever mentioning disabling DHCP.
 
        Do you mean MAC as this is what I used to restrict the access
   to specific systems.

 RF> If you wish to (manually) assign permanent IPs and to have none other
 RF> issued, then you should disable DHCP.

        On this Dlink 650-P, the readme mentioned to use the MAC in the
   setup pages and this is what I have done. If the MAC is not listed,
   no contact but I can there see who has tried a connect.
 
 RF> A theoretical loss is performance is expected, but under normal
 RF> circumstances it should be minimal, if not altogether unappreciated.
 RF> A significant loss points to other factors.

        I will endeavour to try this encryption again, later. Back
   home now and we are redoing the whole basement so I might even be
   "off-air" for a while. If you do not go away, I will bug you again.
   Promise !
     
       
   I will never try anything less than
           Microsoft programmes. They out do all.
