I have been leeching my (unknown) neighbor's unsecured wifi for several months. Now that I have a wireless router, I want to return the favor for other people who need to get on the internet.
For reference, my two computers are Windows 2000, firewall = Zone Alarm Home; and Windows XP, firewall = Comodo. My router is a Linksys WRT54GL.
How can I set up my router/firewalls so that:
1) anyone can use my internet connection, without me giving specific permission
****2) only my computers (a desktop and a laptop) can access any files over the network, and only those that are stored on my computers
I know how to set up an unencrypted network, just by using the router and no firewall, but how do I make sure that no one else can see my files?
Thanks in advance!!
