Yeah, I run a wireless network.
Don't use WEP, use WPA. If you have a new access point, new card, and running Windows XP with the appropriate WPA updates, you can use it. WEP is too easy to break.
I worry about wireless security because I was living in an apt. complex. If someone jacks my connection and uses it for something bad, I can get blamed for it. Plus I don't want people in my comptuers looking at my stuff.
Its easy to setup. Make sure the key is the same on the WAP settings and your laptop. Also, you might want to look up some network security tips on google. Disable SSID broadcast, use MAC address filtering, etc. and you'll have a network that's difficult enough to crack to the point where someone would just move on.
