Ive got a 2 mb adsl line running through a 4 port router. What I want to achive is a private network between 3 machines, a laptop running xp, a desktop running 2000 which I would like 2 use as a sort of server as its got the most storage, and another desktop running 98se but will be upgrading soon. The router is shared and one of the ports will be going to another desktop which doesnt need 2 be networked or have access to any of the files on the other machines. Thanks in advance Dan.
