Ah ha!
I have found the MAC address settings, and set them to allow only my PCs.
I've changed the security settings on the WLAN section as well, and the DHCP is now manually set.
Thanks! :)

Excelent, you should now be safe from the vast majority of people, unless there is someone who REALLY wants your data/bandwidth ;)

lol, I doubt many people would want it that much; its only 512 kb/s.

Also, I don't have a single copy of Norton: I put them through the CD shredder after uninstalling it (and reformatting Windows) because of the pain it caused me. :D

Get Wireshark and you can watch your network traffic live so you can make sure no one is tapping in.

I'll try Wireshark out, seems useful. I could keep an eye on how much my sister is using with her anime...
