Having just purchased a new Vostro laptop, i would be grateful if someone could help me as regards what precaution i need to take as regards wireless/bluetooth security. This is my first laptop, and also my first PC with wireless capabilities.
The laptop has both built in WiFi and Bluetooth. At home, my network is protected via my wireless router(I know that much
), but what about the bluetooth side?
Can anyone within range with a bluetooth enabled PC gain access to my laptop?
Can 2 computers with WiFi connect to each other without a router/internet connection?
I am running Vista Business. Will the built in firewall protect me enough?
Sorry if these are really noob questions, but any help would be appreciated.
