Doesn't the fine manual which came with your router describe wireless
encryption methods and how to implement them?

I just noticed that you said comp-to-comp, and I presume that this means
that you do not have a router. Hence, my other post is not applicable to
your case.
The fine manual which comes with your computers ought to discuss wireless
encryption of messages. It might even describe how to do this.

As for what the informations that can be intercepted, all of the items that
you mentioned can be intercepted and read by whomever wants to do so.

Yes, i got built-in wireless, didn't find anything what have to do with
manuals than 'windows help", it helped me in some dgree, but don't
understan the whole scheme, and the ways of securing myself, computer,
data.
I need to reread the previous link about securing, and drive into it more
deeply, i guess,don't want to risk. If i comprehended you right, literally
connecting to an open acess, computer to computer netwrok connection,
immediately i open my whole data to risk? Could my firewall help me secure
my data in this case of computer to computer connection, or it's useless in
this case?

Thanks, for previous, from Marko
