Re: Lack of security for DKV network

2008-10-27 by jheitzeb1

With the Mac you can use the system preference, 'Sharing' option.  Set
the file sharing to 'public folder' or drop box only.  That way, you
can keep others from accessing any info on your hard drives.  They can
only have access to the public folder or drop box only on your Mac. 
Just make sure that you clear out any important info from the drop box
(public folder) after transferring to others in your household.  

There is a password scheme for the airport express connection as well
as for your network, but I couldn't get it to work with the disklavier
and airport express when I originally set it up and haven't tried it
again.
