Potato or Corn? ;-)


It's all peer-to-peer, but requires password log-in.

Maybe that's adequate?


I use a spare wireless router, plugged into a spare port in the main
router. That allows access to the net, but not the private network.
That makes it easy to turn off, when you don't need wireless. To make
it even more secure requires a little bit more hardware.
Linksys/Cisco,
Netgear and other OEMs have some decent information on their websites.

Your setup allows the wireless access to your lan , but you can't access
the wireless lan.
Netbios is not routable, so you wouldn't see any computers with windows.

I think If you made one port a vlan then that would work. But, I never
played with vlans.
