You could connect the computers together via a router without exposing them to the internet. And with basic router technology and firewall software it is easy to expose them to the internet without a lot of risk. Probably with a lot less risk than your current setup of having your "internet pc" connected directly to your modem, where it is very exposed unless you've done something special to use a private IP address instead of the public IP address it gets from the cable modem.
After seeing your details I concede that it may well be possible to work the Touch into your setup without a router, but it would have to be wired, not wireless. And you'd probably have to set up one of your PCs as a go-between. But a router would be a lot easier. And probably more secure as well. Decent consumer wireless routers are available for around US$50, so that would be my advice. -- aubuti ------------------------------------------------------------------------ aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=80223 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
