not onlyy use encryption, it's also a good idea to set the mac table so that only listed IPs (i.e. your machines) can connect to your network, change the IPs regularly so that drive by hackers or your neighbours have even less chance of using your bandwidth. Make sure that you use the latest version of WEP, te first protocol (shipped with early 802.11b kit)was only 40 bit encryption can be hacked in about an hour :( @muddygrub, I had a 2400 external modem too, great big black box compared to modern kit had it's own mains supply too!
