configuration question

9/18

Hello,

My wife & I have a home wireless network using a smc2804wbrp-g wireless
print router(works great). From time to time we have a child who uses a
third computer. The adults don't want the child to have access to either
of of our computers, but still have access to the internet. I have
another router smc7008abr & understand that there is a way of making the
connection, but I have no idea how.

Please help.

You don't need to do that, just hook the kids PC up to the original router,
and don't enable file/print sharing on your other 2 PCs (or else restrict
access to named users). This is exactly how my own setup is, with
(coincidentally) exactly the same router.

The printserver sucks tho - won't work with my multifunction Lexmark X5150,
not even to print. Gah.

I'm not familiar with your router, however, most routers as well as
software firewall will allow you to control the usage of your networked
PCs via MAC or IP address or both. You can also control the times you
want each PC to operate on your network. Read your manual for details.
On the other hand, many router menu settings are pretty self explanatory.

Just turn on the Windows Firewall on the Adult's PC if you're using Windows
XP.

Otherwise download a free personal firewall.
