Ideas for topics Not sure if I can make the meeting it depends if I can get a lift from work however the recent discussions on network / wireless security could make an interestring set of talks lets start with the basics of networking then go on to discuss hubs / switches and discuss the differences then discuss wireless technology and how this works / differs / is similar to the wired stuff then look at routers and how these work in relation to the internet / internal network then discuss the two encryption technologies wpa ? and wep (wireless encryption protocol) why they are insecure and the steps we can take to help reduce risk may have to throw in a discussion on NAT (network address translation) that may keep us going for a good set of talks, perhaps have slides / hand outs for these (yes they cost perhaps this can be recovered i think 50p - 1.00 to cover printing is not too much to ask if people want copies of the notes) just a few ideas for the exeter meet and a few subsequent meetings in the area, lets not assume people fully understand these topics or as they would lead on from each other having a good grounding in one, means the others make sense, if they are lug talks then at least other members know what has been covered and can plan accordingly. -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
