Hey all,

We set a new wireless home network up recently... If i am suring
wirelessly on my laptop, can the host computer easily monitor my
activity? if so, to what extent.... I mean, can sites be logged? If
i am making online transactions, is there any way my relatives can
actively (or passivley) intercept that secure data? I just invision
someone on the host computer watching, via screen shots, my
activity...haha... Please let me know...

Also, if at least site logging is possible from the host computer,
is that a function built into most networks -- or is that special
software that needs to be installed? Is there anyway for the remote
computer to know if it's being watched?

Thanks,

M

Wireless means you are broadcasting your activity. Yes, it can be
monitored. If your wireless system is not set up properly, it can be
monitored by anyone with a wireless card who happens to be in range of your
transmitter.
