Geoff,

Most wireless routers will allow you to enter the MAC address details of the interface (network card) of the machines that you want to allow to connect to the network.

To obtain the MAC address of your interface, in Windows:

Click Start, go to Run, and type "cmd" without the quotes and hit Enter.
In the black screen that comes up, type, "ipconfig /all" without the quotes.

Somewhere in there, will be a MAC address. Simply enter that in your wireless router's allowed MAC addresses list. Repeat for each of your machines that you want to allow, and, that's it.

If you look up the manual for the brand and model of your wireless router, the details will be all there for you.

Regards,
Humayun
