  • Internet Sharing question

    I would like to share the internet with my neighbor, who has high speed ( trying to keep cost down by not subscribing to it myself)
    I have a router already, 8 port linksys jobbie. The question is: is there a way to only share the internet on such a router, and not have my neighbor accessing my Lan? i.e not being able to even see the computers in network neighborhood?, or is there a better way to do this, not involving the router?

    Any thoughts are welcome.

    You can install zone alarm and not allow his IP(s) access to your computer

      I have to Recommend Kerio Personall Firewall over ZoneAlarm.

        So a personal firewall on each computer is the only way to make sure my neighbor cannot see my computers.. hmm... I hoped there was a better solution.. preferably something where I could block netbios( or netbios on TCP/IP) on the router on his ports..

          You could, but then you'd have to have another nic to your machines with netbios enabled.

          Router ----- NIC (netbios dis.)

          other NIC (netbios en) ---- your other machines

              Well, if your router is configurable, and can selectively block ports, then sure. Just block the netbios ports that MS uses for filesharing and you're all set.
