Answer 3

You can also get routers that block the wireless users from the LAN. Many are out there for this..
I like the AirEpoch gateway routers for this. Also allows user management to control who does get on to the wifi.

Answer 4

If you are only worried about users on other machines, as long as you set up no shared folders there is nothing for them to see, also your firewall by default should block file and printer sharing.

Very Simple do not allow sharing on your computer
In addition to you can turn on your xp sp2 firewall
