if I have wireless internet from my internet provider, how can I make
sure that I have a secure network. I do have two computers hooked to a
router.

firstly if you want people to not gain access to your internet connection
enable the pass key and or you can enable the mac locking
but what type of wierless router do you have?

That helps until someone legitimate creates a connection. Sniffing just
one packet is enough and you know a valid MAC address.

Don't use WEP or MAC filtering, as both are easy to bypass. Use a strong
password with either WPA or preferably WPA2.
