I have a new linksys wireless access point/router with an ethernet connection to a iMac 350 running OS 9.2.2., and a wireless connection to a windoze 98 PC.

Before I start changing the security stuff on this network I have some questions:

1. Do I want or need the ZoneAlarm Pro software and PC Cillin offered on the linksys site? If so, is it compatible with both the Mac and PC?

2. Do I want to enable WEP and, if so, what settings would be reasonable? Though not obsessed with security, I'd like to minimize unauthorized intrusions and hacking.

3. Any other security measures/considerations for a new network (run by an utterly inexperienced administrator)?

Thanks in advance for the advice, concerns, recommendations, etc.
