Note that network design is one area of computing (along with programming languages) where my knowledge is pretty shaky, but this is what I remember from reading some articles.

What if you use your own laptop but access a company encrypted wi-fi signal? Is that secure? Just curious...

company network from sniffing the traffic, but it would not stop the company
from monitoring your network/internet usage.

True or False?
When using a company laptop, "the man" ahouldn't be able to see what you are doing if:
1) You are NOT connected to the co. network / VPN
2) Keylogging or other monitoring s/w has not been installed on your PC
3) You clear the computer's cache's before connecting to the co. network / VPN

If you are positive that there is no monitoring software installed AND you clear all the cache, cookies and other personal data then you SHOULD be safe.

Also with the new wire-tap rules/regulations/immunities there are
many ways to monitor your activities "legally" even if you are at
home.

Do you consider caching the IP addresses of network requests to be monitoring s/w? I imagine that even with Safari Privacy option turned on in Windows Safari you lose control once Safari make a request as it goes through the network driver stack or whatever.

What if
1) Company laptop
2) Work from home (private cable/DSL connection)
3) Connect to VPN for Outlook (work e-mail) access only
4) Disconnect from VPN for web access
What can they know about what was accessed when not connected to the VPN (IE, ect...)
