Answer to first question is YES. Answer to second question is YES. I am a
single user of this computer and my wife also has a computer and it also
works the same. We use cable with a HUB and the two computers act as stand
alone, each has its own unique IP address. BTW, we had problems with the
upgrade to 5.0 and went back. There are some problems with the latest
version of Zone Alarm.
