I've been running an ethernet home network for a while, but I'd like to add additional computers in other rooms to the network. The problem is that I am using DSL and have a webserver. So, I run all traffic through my webserver, where I keep all security) and out to an ethernet hub.

It's worked great, but I hit limitations. I've thought of going wireless, but I live in a tightly packed urban area and am concerned about having connections knocked off by other's mobile phones. I've thought of going HomePNA, but I can't tell if this keeps computers connected through my phone line completely inside of my firewall. Plus I'd like to prevent any additional traffic that might interfere with people getting to my webserver.

Any ideas or suggestions of where I'd find a tutorial on this?

Cell/mobile phones operate at a totally different frequency. 2.4 GHz cordless phones can interfere, but that's usually when they are right up against each other in the same overlapping area.
