Re: 4 PC's 1IP

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Ok, the instructions worked like a dream, thank you very much for making your
time avaliable to me.

P.S. I've found that the router I have has a built in hardware firewall
besides the NAT so I'm able to make complete use of it even though the nat is
turned off now. I've use a few test sites to do simple port scans and all
results suggest that the ports are stealth so that will do for now untill I
find time and resources to invest into a stand-alone hardware firewall.

Thank you once again.
