Waw! Thanks guys!There have been a lot of great answers in witch I'll have to
dig in.But if using 802.1x allows me to guaranty that the laptop won't beable
to connect to a other network, then I imagine that it could bethe best idea and
adding a RJ45-LOCK would just to make it more sure.My home network is with a

station are Windows xp pro.Thanks for all your help, It is really a great
listSteven Meyer
