Well thats kind of what I thought. I am just not sure if there is a way a
user on the unsecured network could somehow hack users that connect to this
network. For instance if they don't have a firewall turned on, or if they
are allowing file and print sharing. Once they hacked into this machine
maybe they could take it over and then attack the secured network. Not sure
if it is posible maybe I am just too paranoid. I have about maybe 30 users
with wireless enabled laptops.
