XP Pro is a great operating system which builds on the features of W2K. It has
more advanced features such as built in ICF firewall, alternate tcp/ip settings,
Software Restriction Policies, better multimedia, more Group Policy/Security
settings, and System Restore Points. Having said that however, you will need to
accomplish what you want via your wireless cable/dsl router. You can filter internet
access by ip or mac addresses. Be sure to change your default settings on your
wireless router and use WEP. You don't want "war drivers" to access your network
either. --- Steve
