Great ideas, many thanks.
I'll have a look at CHAP accounts, that's new to me. I thought about things like restricting IP access to a port or something but that wouldn't work as I wouldn't know the IP addresses of the few people I want to have access.
I don't have a hub I could use (sold it when I went to wifi) but do have a switch (Netgear Wifi router - I ditched it when I discovered Linksys was so much more reliable!) although not sure how well it'd work. The PC I use is on Wifi so it could maybe work through the Netgear router if that's plugged into the main linksys router possibly?
Otherwise the packet sniffer idea might be good...
Cheers again for the ideas. :o)
