Are there generic instructions about how to do this? In case it 
matters, I use an SMC Barricade 2804WBR ("extreme"). It's probably not 
an issue, since we are on two acres, set back from the road quite a 
bit, and someone would have to drive or walk a few hundred feet up our 
driveway or up a pretty steep hill to get near enough to the house to 
get a signal. File sharing is not enabled, and Panther's firewall is 
enabled.

But, if there's something very simple I can do to take our security up 
a notch, then I'd do it.

Thanks.
