In Windows Vista, if i click the properties of my wireless connection, and go to security tab, I am allowed to set the authentication type and encryption type.

I am confused! So any client computer who connects to the router wirelessly can set those 2 things?

So computer A can set encryption type to WPA, and computer B can set it to WEP?

Then, when an outsider tries to connect to this router, what encryption type will THEY see?
