I've been checking on here for the last 24 hours gathering info on how to set up a home network.

I have a PC, with a Linksys wirelessg router (WRT54-G) and a laptop using a wireless card, plus another PC running from a wireless network adaptor.

I thought I was doing OK (as I have internet access working fine) but someone has just informed me that I need to configure encryption on the router to stop neighbours or anyone else "accidentally" looking at my files etc. The downside is I don't know how to do it and now I'm a bit worried

Is there anyone who can talk me through whatever I need to do please? All machines are using XP pro BTW.
