I got it working! (I think)

[stellar_muddle]

Wireless router is set up, talking to the modem, and talking over the wireless (ie little Eeepc can see the net and talk with it). It is currently set for 64 bit encription. Anything else I should do/ways of making a bit more secure/things I should watch out for? Is it arse in the wind in terms of security or okish?

Yay to more than one net capable computer (if this is ok) :)

If it doesn't do WPA and only does WEP, then don't use it for anything like internet banking or anything else you care about people being able to capture off the air.

WEP is an inherently flawed system that can be cracked in minutes (often under 2 minutes) on modern hardware.

Restricting the MAC addresses allowed to use the AP will slightly, but not greatly, improve your chances of not having people use your wireless connection without your permission.
