file sharing between machines

get a router and set up a LAN. It's not rocket science.

yes... the router is also your firewall. You can get rid of that ZoneAlarm bullshit. Change the default password for the admin screens, and that's it. Been using this setup for years.

Set it up on DHCP and the IP you project onto the Internet is the IP to your router... not your systems. Your systems have internal LAN IPs...

it's perfectly safe.

if you are that fucking concerned about it, turn off your connection when transfereing. the router still works for tcp connection...
or you can birn cds and transfer that way.

a simple Netgear four port DSL router with Firewall built in will provide you the perfect LAN between computers. if you are talking remote locations, we do it thru our servers with encryted connection.

okay, well... whatever.

This is not new. Tens of thousands of companies use LANs every day of the week. The odds seem fairly astronomical that some hacker will want to spend time getting into your little home machine.... for what... your ICQ list?

Use your head. There's nothing wrong with setting up a LAN.

Or, if you're too uncomfortable with that, you can always transfer files on CDs or floppys or something.

There is no more danger of someone breaking through your router than there is of someone breaking through your copy of ZoneAlarm. In fact, there's probly less chance.


I have nearly every directory shared on these systems as well as printers and scanners and other shit. Go ahead... hack me. Not only do you have to get through the router, but then you gotta get through the system login. Good luck.

i guess you are right in a way.You just have to make sure that the passwords on your shared folders are good.Also many companies have lans but they are not all connected to the internet

dude... I used to setup and install networks for AT&T/@Home/Excite for rich people in California... trust me on this. There's nothing wrong with using a LAN... it's probably the best thing you can do for yourself aside from totally isolating yourself from the Internet. And it's far more secure than a software firewall.

Even if every machine you have is connected to the Net. Assuming someone actually DID want to get in there in the first place, they'd still have to go through a helluva lot of shit to get there. As long as you don't leave your logins at default, you got nothing to worry about. And don't put everything on one machine. Spread it out across several machines and drives.

Make yourself a nice little workgroup... put it all on DHCP, change the default logins, set your Local IP range at something unusual or hard set them individually, and you're golden.
