Create Entirely New Email Addresses as a Hotmail Alias [Email Filters]

Each Hotmail user gets five aliases per year, and a total of 15 aliases. The tricky part is finding email addresses that haven't been taken on the world's most popular email service, but if you can think up a long or unique enough thread, your Hotmail alias is really convenient. You hand it out, the email arrives into a labeled folder in your inbox, and you reply or forward those messages from that same address—or you can switch back to your regular email address when everything appears on the up-and-up.

Convenient offering—what can you see using it for?

Filter MAC addresses

As a final security precaution, consider limiting access to network adapters with specific MAC addresses. To use MAC-address filtering, you'll need to enable the feature in your router's configuration routine. Look for a filtering button or a menu option. Then enter the MAC addresses you recorded in step 1 for your Wi-Fi adapters. Apply the changes and exit the router's configuration utility.

For an extra layer of security, enable MAC-address filtering.

Most 802.11g routers come configured to work with both 802.11g and 802.11b clients. If you've purchased 802.11g devices for all your wireless systems, choose an 802.11g-only mode to boost performance.
