Workgroup security behind wireless router??

by chris . Updated 18 years, 4 months ago

I have 3 XP-pro computers all behind a secure wireless router. I have set up a single workgroup, and all computers and shares can be seen properly.

I am the only user on all machines (so trust is not an issue)…so my question is if my workgroup is set up in my home, and behind a secure wireless router, can anybody join my workgroup and access my files if they don’t have access to my router?????

I don’t want to set up more users/permissions on all my files if I know nobody can even get into my workgroup. What I am worried about are people near by who could join my same workgroup and see my files…but I don’t think they can if they can’t get onto my router wirelessly or by ethernet-ing into it, is this correct??

What if bluetooth is enabled??

Thanks for all your help.
