I have a wireless home network that I use so my laptop has access to

I want to add another computer but I want it to only access the

main computer and laptop.
Is there an easy way to do this without getting too complicated?

If you dont mind setting up a free software firewall (if you dont already
have one) on the laptop and the pc already hooked up to the router, set the
new computer to static on the lan (maybe you dont have to do that step,
some routers have an option to reserve ip's for the pc's mac address) and
just firewall that ip out of the other two pc's. I dont know that this is
the best solution depending on how much time you want to spend goofing
around, but its easy and its best of all, free.
