Networks
provide the obvious benefit of making it easy for PCs to share files,
but that's just one of the pluses. Computers on a network can also share
certain peripherals, such as CD-ROM drives and printers, so you don't
need several complete--and expensive--systems to get started. You can
map a hard drive to the network, letting separate computers run
applications from one location, without having to install the software
on each computer.
Protect Your Network Microsoft When you create a network connected to the Internet, you increase the vulnerability of your computers to unauthorized access, including viruses. To protect your network, you need to create a type of barrier called a firewall. Windows XP comes with a firewall that you create when setting up a small network.
How Firewalls Work HowStuffWorks If you have a fast Internet connection into your home (either a DSL connection or a cable modem), you may have found yourself hearing about firewalls for your home network as well. It turns out that a small home network has many of the same security issues that a large corporate network does. You can use a firewall to protect your home network and family from offensive Web sites and potential hackers.
Use the Internet Connection to Secure Your Small Network Microsoft - A firewall is a security system that acts as a protective boundary between a network and the outside world. Windows XP includes Internet Connection Firewall (ICF) software you can use to restrict what information is communicated between the Internet and your home or small office network. ICF also protects a single computer connected to the Internet with a cable modem, a DSL modem, or a dialup modem.
