This will prevent "File and printer sharing" from operating across TCP/IP. Now install NetBEUI for you network adapter by selecting your network adapter, pressing the add button, choose protocol, Microsoft, NetBEUI. You will probably be asked to reboot your computer, don't reboot yet. Now select the NetBEUI protocol which you've associated with your network adapter, go to the binding tab, and make sure you've bound NetBEUI to "File and printer sharing" by filling in the check box. Reboot your computer after you've done this. The NetBEUI protocol is not routable through the internet, as the Internet only support IP traffic. You will have to complete the above steps for each computer on your home network. If your home network and your internet connection use seperate network cards, this is the ideal solution. Simply have File and printer sharing bound on your home network cards, and not on the external card. : Greetings: : First and foremost .... thanx for the great software.

I think I : am relatively safe "unless targeted" by a sophisiticated : hacker ... but what would they want with my PC info? : Anyway, there is one open issue with which I am : uncomfortable.... My shared printer seems to allow access : into my "system" folder, which of course is where all my : critical system files reside. What can I do to block : authorized access to this folder, or am I overly paranoid? : Thank you in advance.
