western digital mybookworld network help

[wildthing220]

Hi,

I have a laptop running vista wirelessly connected to my Bt homehub.
i have also got connected to my homehub a Western Digital MyBookWorld hard drive, and i can access this wirelessly with my laptop.

here is the problem, i live in a house where there are 3 other users who share the same internet connection (bt homehub) have they got access to my hard drive, if so is there any way to prevent this?

i hope that makes sense, thanks for your help!

Isnt there a utility to password the drive that comes with it?

yes you can log on using a username and password, however when you view network mybookworld appears there, and when you open that the next folder says public and doesnt ask for a username or password, and you have access to the drive.
