I leave our clients so they can see each other. If you think of your network just as a way of connecting individuals to the 'Internet' you are not appreciating what the Internet actually is. Every computer is part of the Internet which a two way system. So preventing a local network of computers from communicating with each other is sort of pointless. You have a very fast local network and would do well to make use of it. As long as people agree to the rule that they can do anything on on Internet as long as it does not adversly affect any other Internet users you will be OK. If people do abuse it, first you inform them of the problem and work out a solution with them. Otherwise you can easily switch them off. The benifits of local high speed networking are beginning to be discovered. be brave and do it. Regards, Wayland.
