phant0m: I know virtually zilch about networking apart from the odd bit I've picked up from wrestling with LAN networks over the years.
Security wise beyond setting up a "longass" password & putting up MAC & IP filtering; none of my friends were really that savvy with code/hacking (apart from Paul) and even then he only hacked a PC once and it took him the whole LAN
The consensus seems to be that a wireless network will draw CS students like bears to honey. That was the main worry for me. I'm not paranoid about attacks from the internet; more about attacks from within..eeeek
If I used something like ESET (what I use) would they be able to hack into my PC? I'm not to sure how clever they will be as they are first year students... Surely there must something to keep them out of the network altogether? I thought that the Drayteks firewall would be enough. It sounds like I would need a separate hardware firewall or something?
TBH I'm more confused now than when I first postedI guess I will just have to cower behind my wired network.....
Time to find a new industry!
phant0m: I just mean CS students who can see my wifi (not with physical access to the computer/network)

As long as you use WPA2 + a really good passphrase, it doesn't matter if they can see it or not.
