I want to setup a WiFi but don't want anyone to be able to just piggy back it for free. I have several friends that get WiFi off their neighbors and they have no clue.

thanks in advance.

Yeah, I have a setup, but its not in use right now. I'm using the Linksys WAP54G piggybacked onto a BEFSX41 (or something like that). WEP is weak, WPA is better. Yes you can restrict users by MAC address on most systems. You need to have a wireless access point and a router, or a wireless AP/router combo. All of your computers will then need wireless ethernet cards. Really easy to setup. I don't like having all wireless stuff though because when something does go wrong, you'll need a wired connection to work on the router.
