Lan protection

I got a buffalo airstation , and 2 pc's connected on that.
We are only able to connect 2 pc's to that router. But sometimes we aren't
able to connect both on that one. We suspect that someone is connecting also
to our router (probably someone in the neighbourhood) Even if no one of us is
online the monitor sometimes gives a light.

* Our pc's automaticly changes from ip.
So the point is : We want to protect our network with a pass. It will mean
we will have to take each one ip adress so we can connect each time with that
ip. But we don't know how to manage it to one definitve ip adress and to
protect our local connection.

You could try disabling your SSID Broadcast so they don't see your wireless
router and set up a wireless card access list by MAC address. This way only
your network cards can connect by unique MAC address.
