Cain & Able man in the middle attack

I too have performed MITM attacks on my network with Cain & Able. Also
having grabbed a few HTTP and FTP passwords seeing that it was
successful I now need to secure my self against these attacks but how
can I do this? Would static MAC mappings in my hosts files do the
trick?

Thanks for your time
Bensley.
