Q: So heres my deal, my roommate is charged with DSL / wireless router. SSID is enabled, and no password is required, I offered a little protection (add at least enable WEP), but she is not technically savvy, and is concerned that something will go if Im not there and unable to determine / change it.
To To cut a long story short, Im on an unsecured wireless network, and was wondering what the best way to protect myself. The warning is that I have laptop and desktop I would like to have to communicate, so I have to be able to print / file sharing. I have Kerio Personal Firewall, but Im not sure that enough (I have it configured to share, but in all honesty, I do not know if my specific computer or all computers on the network). I am not bound to Kerio is a suggestion for another person that my firewall needs.
What “can apply is the best way to ensure that no other computer, except for my second computer access? Thanks!

Re:Wireless cables DSL/Routers are very inexpensive these days.
Get yourself a Router and connect the WAN Port to a regular port on the "Smart Lady"'s Router.
That it, you would have your own Network on your side of the Router. Do what ever you want to do with it will not affect her. In addition she will be insolated from your system as well.

Re:most routers have wireless access lists, where you can add the MAC address of a card, and permit only those MACs to access the network. This shouldnt be a problem unless you arent around and she wants to connect extra (unknown ) machines.

Yes, DHCP ok with Kerio.
1: to hide your SSID, don't boardcast it to everyone. ( see the router's configuration)
2: have to use WEP. But some routers have problem when deploy 128bit strong encrp. So using 64bit should be good enough for home user.
3: still need personal firewall on your computer, Kerio is good one actually but a little bit paranoid! LOL
Unfortuneatly I can't use the first two options (its my roommates' router, and she doesn't want it changed), which is why I'm wondering what my other options are. Would a firewall be enough? And how would I allow access to just one other computer on a network without a static IP (router is DHCP)?

In your firewall software, create a trusted zone for the IP address of your other computer (this will give your PC permission to interact with your laptop as if the firewall was not installed) and deny access to all other addresses (this will make it so that everyone else can't even 'see' your laptop). That should pretty much take care of it for you. I'm not familiar with Kerio so I honestly couldn't tell you exactly how to configure it for a trusted zone, but it's fairly straightforward in most firewalls I've worked with.
Can I do this if DHCP is enabled?
