If someone were to hack the router, it would be nice if the PI restricted access to itself from any computer other than one I have specified (my laptop). I would like to do something similar, specifically for the PI. So if someone wanted to access internet through my router, they not only need to crack the WPA password, but they also need to spoof my MAC address (presumably). (Therefore one more level of security - besides WPA encryption on wireless access point). I ask this question because I can configure my Belkin router to only accept wireless connections from specific MAC addresses. How can I ensure that the Pi only allows connections into it from my laptop and my laptop alone? Perhaps this has something to do with the MAC address? I can access my Pi console via SSH and Putty on my laptop. my RPi is wired directly via ethernet cable and my laptop via wireless (Windows 7 on laptop). My home intranet, at the moment, has two computers connected to a Belkin router, which in turn is connected directly to the internet via a cable modem. If it should be moved elsewhere, please do not hesitate to suggest where it should be moved to. Disclaimer: I am not sure if this is a question for the Pi StackExchange site, but I am posting it here anyway.
