Create a computer-to-computer network
I want to Share the Internet via my iMac from my iPod Touch (4th gen.)
The Mac is Ethernet cable connected to the web. (iMac 10.6.7)
That is all easy if you go to the built in Airport in the iMac.
But than comes what really baffles me -
when creating this comp to comp connection there is only one choice and that is WEP !
There is convincing talk and and writing all over the Web "Do NOT use WEP" better use WAP or WAP2,
or "WEP of any kind is NO Security at all, takes a few seconds anymore to break 128 bit WEP".
So why does Apple -the secure computer company- only offers WEP ??
Quotation from this Apple Help site:

Type a password of exactly 13 ASCII characters or 26 hexadecimal digits if you chose 128-bit WEP from the Security pop-up menu.
** Computer-to-computer networks are not compatible with WPA or WPA2 protected networks. !!
Does anyone has a more up to date solution for a safer
computer-to-computer network connection ?
