Networking queries

Never been too interested in networking my pc's until I joined Telewest, just used to use seperate modems for internet access on my 2 pc's.

Anyway, now I have cable decided to buy a wireless router and the usb adaptor for 2nd pc, both netgear.

So I've set them up all working fine, internet working on both and that is all I want so I havent really set up a "home network" I'm just sharing the connection.

As I havent set up no file sharing etc between the pc's are my computers still liable to outside parties gaining access to information on them? (I've set up the basic 64 bit wep)

Also, can the second pc (the 1 using the adaptor) be used online if the 1st pc isnt on? (router/modem switched on)

Sorry about the ramblin on.
