Re: Using SBS 2003 as DHCP server and a segragate network

If this is your home network, you could disconnect the server and clients,
then set the problem computer with the same subnet IP, gateway, and mask as
your normal network, connect through the router to the Internet to get
updates, clean your system, then put the other systems back on the network.

Don't know how stupid of a question this is and I can't seem to find
the right keywords to search for my answer.

I'm using SBS 2003. It is currently the DHCP server and has two
permanant clients that share network resources. I am using the 2 NIC
solution. I have a third computer that needs an internet connection
temporarily. This third computer does have spyware/adware and the
like. I do not want this computer, which may or may not have worm, to
infect the server or my other two permanant clients. Does joining this
computer to the switch to obtain an IP address from the server
constitute any kind of threat? There will be no sharing of folders or
files for this computer and I will be the only temporary user. Just
want to get my facts straight and really need to know if worms can
spread by just being connected and not sharing resources. Thanks!
