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

Here's another thought. On a clean system, download all the spyware removal
tools and antivirus updates, burn them to a CD, then load antivirus software
on the problem PC and use the CD to update it. Then run your scans.

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!
