Thanks. Actually doing a Google search first was helpful. I read a few articles on security that were helpful. So when I set up sharing, I chose Shared access rather than User, set up a complex password and set permission to Read Only. These were all recommended. This way if a hacker gets into the network, he has to take the trouble to crack the password to access the sharing and then he can only read, not make alterations. Theoretically. I'm still relying on NAT and ZA to keep them out.

Got a bunch of problems occurring all at once. Maybe someone can help? (I have a year old Compaq with Win.XP) 1. Windows Media Player won't work-- no sound. I went to RealPlayer and got sound there, then went back to Windows M.P. and it worked. Then I closed WMP, reopened it, and the reopened player wouldn't work. Currently it won't give me sound. 2. When I tried uninstalling this once software that was about 350k it wouldn't totally uninstall and My Computer showed about 25k of software left. When I tried uninstalling it, I got a window pop-up that said "WISE Uninstall Could not open Install.Logfile" I then tried installing the software CD Rom and it wouldn't do that-- said "Initializing WISE Installation Wizard but nothing happened. I tried installing through the CD drive but that didn't help. So, I have no music availability in Windows Media and I can't install or uninstall certain software. I think I can install other software, as I started to install an AT&T ISP CD ROM and it looked like it was working (although I stopped before installing it in toto). Any ideas on what's wrong? I tried doing the restore thing restoring things as of a couple weeks ago but that didn't help things at all. Squashed Tomato
