Hi

Yes, 10, I know. But since 4 of the machines (not counting the box that has
the application on it, since my understanding is that it doesn't count
"itself" as a connection, I hope) ONLY need the network for Internet use, I
was hoping someone had a suggestion on how I could keep them off the
workgroup so they don't count against the limit, but still allow those 4
internet access. I'm open to any suggestions short of a new OS.

btw, what "3rd prty software app" are you thinking of?
