Wired and wireless and security

I have a version of Win XP Pro on my laptop that cannot be updated (illegal version or something - bought computer from ebay). As a result, I can only use WEP since I cannot update to the newer standards.

I have my desktop connected to the same router - wired.

File and printer sharing is turned off.

Am I correct that I am risking intrusion on the wireless laptop but the wired desktop remains "safe"?

TIA

Louise
