Hey folks. Just got dsl at home and a new pc. I have wireless working, but have no idea if people can evesdrop on me or what and am generally clueless about how to set up security so not just anyone can use my connection. Give me a hand newbies and prove your worth!

2 VERY important things to do if you dont do anything else:
Enable Encryption and hide SSID
