Michael,
before you buy anything think about where you want to put the firewall

the DSL modem, WiFi router and then on each machine. Now that may be a

the best way to figure out if somebody is using your DSL without your
permission is to check the number of IP addresses that your wireless

should be able to connect to its IP address via browser on http:// or
I guess the answer depends on where you live. If you are in a house
that is relatively far from other houses which prevents people from
