Network Visability

Tiennie · 20th February 2006

Hi all.

I am not yet too familiar with Networking.

I am setting up a wireless network and it is set up like this.

VSat connection, VSatmodem to Smoothwall Firewall and then to a switch and from there out to the various wireless connections.

I would like to let the users on the netwrok only be able to go the the internet and not being able to see other pc's on the netwrork.

So I suppose I need a firewall machine on each of those outlets and then into the switch. Maybe that way they will not be able to see each other.

Is there software or hardware to be able to do this?

I hope I brought the message across.

Thanks

Tiennie

Just disable the following in Network Properties of all the computers:
Client for Microsoft Windows
File and Printing Sharing for Microsoft Windows.

This would allow them to share the internet & not see each other.
