How/Where do I secure a NAS drive on my network?

What is the best way to secure my NAS drive on my home
network? I want to keep access restricted to just a couple of computers. I don't want any outsiders to be able to detect or
access it. I'm running Windows XP Pro and have a two router setup. Router 1 (Dell TrueMobile 2300) comes straight off the DSL modem. Router 2 (Netgear WGT624) feeds off router 1 with no problems. All my computers get access off router 2.

Any help would be appreciated.

Well, what 'outsiders' are you protecting from? If its behind two routers, the internet won't see it unless you do some massive port forwarding / DMZing.

If wireless, lock down your wireless.

Otherwise just put a user/password on it.
