Duh - static IP addresses! Of course!

Thanks, Patrick... that's the way I'll do it. I'm not really worried about
sniffing. I only have about 5 devices that I want to be wireless, so they
can have static IPs easily... while living on the DMZ.

Regards,

Mark

If you are not worried about plain text traffic being sniffed, then 
you should be able to establish a "sensibly secure" system:

- Allocate a static IP address to your wireless card.
- Allow routing of this IP address to your secure intranet, filtering 
by Mac address at the firewall.

Voila, only *your* wireless card can access your intranet.
Common sense says: use ssh for telnet sessions & tunnel non-anon ftp,
rely on windows encrypted password exchange for authentication.

I'd be happy with that level of security in a domestic environment 
myself.
