Wayne,
By installing two NICs in the "gateway" computer, you can turn off NETBUI in
the NIC that is directly connected to the internet (cable modem).  That
makes everything (well most everything) invisible behind that computer,
including shared resources on the gateway computer.  Some NICs will cause
problems when there are two made by the same manufacturer in the same
computer.  I, however, have had success with Linksys Etherfast 10/100 cards.
They cost around $26.00 from Buy.com.

To see what kind of vulnerability you have to the internet, go to  Gibson
Research at http://grc.com/ .

    Thank you for the information. I removed the 166Mhz chip, and replaced
it with the 100Mhz chip. It still didn't work. .............
 I have Broadband now and am going to
network all these computers together. I have been to www.timhiggins.com and
the site states that I should put 2 NIC cards in the computer that is
connected directly to Broadband, to prevent my network from being part of
the larger (i.e. outside of my house) network. I had never heard this
before. Has anybody else?
