still perfectly feasible Kev... it'd just take a while. WEP is a pretty poor encryption protocol from what I've been told. Somethign to do with initialisation vectors meaning that 128 bit encryption isn't actually 128 bit encryption. Granted, most home users aren't going to go to any further lengths than that, (if they do bother at all!) and generally it's adequate, but there are better ways, such as using ipsec/l2tp over a vpn client etc...
