WEP is OK but easily broken due to a design flaw; don't give up the firewall on the PC, and maybe add one to the mac.

When I get my wireless configured right, it will be hooked into the network outside the firewall, leaving all my household PC's hardwired inside. Then I can leave the wireless net mostly open, with a firewall of its own that only lets through ssh and http, and maybe a few others.

OS 10.2 has firewall capability built in; I turned it on when I had the Mac hooked directly to the DSL and haven't turned it off.
