RE: Some question on mulltiple home computers accessing Internet...

["Fritz Hayes" <fhayes@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I second all that Andy says.  My house has 3 roving computers being used
by 5 people.  It's a busy network with an Empire Earth match contending
with an English paper.  Shared printers on a hard wired Win98 box solves
the need for printing.  I do run ani-virus and personal firewalls on
each machine, co-ordinated with the Linksys router/fw.

|switch.  I still have some wired connections for network
|printers and the like.  Each device on the network requires a
