RE: Prevent wireless clients from connecting to rogue access points?

I'd start by disabling "Connect to any available network " in XP. Also, if
they are connecting to other APs without any configuration it means that you
are not using any encryption on your own network. Start using it!

Subject: Prevent wireless clients from connecting to rogue access points? 

Hi there!

We've seen a few cases in our office where some of our
clients are automatically connecting to rogue WAPs and
picking up an IP address. It's a bit of a security
issue, since now the system is connected to our
corporate network as well as someone else's network.
Has anyone dealt with this issue? Any suggestions on
how to prevent this? Most machines running XP.

Thanks
Kip, CISSP
