MAC filtering is used as a weak security measure, to prevent unauthorized computers from connecting to your system, but it works only on the local network. I experienced this last week, when attempting to work on a customer's network. They had unintentionally turned it on, which meant that my computer couldn't connect to their network. Some people also think it adds to wireless security, but that's a delusion, as MAC addresses are easily spoofed.
James, given the number of possible MAC addresses, it would be virtually impossible to guess a single one for accessing somebodys wireless network, so surely those people are not _that_ delusional in thinking it adds to their wireless access security? /Per -- /Per Jessen, Zürich -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
