Our Local Community Hospital has asked me to network 3 computers (2-win98 1- win2k)in adjoining offices. They are a little paranoid about someone (within the hospital) accessing their files.
The hospital has DSL internet thru a Linksys router. Right now the computers are hooked via cat5 ethernet to the DSL router. The DSL apparently just works thru the physical connection to the router, as there isn't a gateway installed on any of the computers.
They want to use the DSL on these 3 computers as well as have a secure 3 computer network that none of the other computers in the building can access. The main concern is internal security as the router should act as a firewall to stop external access.......right??
My first thought was to install 2 nics on each computer and connect them with a small hub, but they are already connected via the DSL router.
My idea is to use Netbeui only on these three computers and password protect file and printer
sharing. My thought is even if someone installed netbeui on one of the other computers the password
would stop access. Ideas?
