Networks

Use Network Connections wizard:

1. Set up an Advanced Connection
2. Accept Connect directly to another computer
3. Select Host (PCs w/o Modem) or Select Guest (PCs w/o Modem)
4. For Host, select Modem to use.
For Guests enter name of computer to connect to.
and so on.

For the security that you want so you'll need to look at a decent Firewall and some decent AV and Male Ware Programs to prevent any infections and you may want to block some sites as well so that will require it's own utility.

hi,
Go to control panel. double click on Administrative tools. there you will find 'ROUTING AND REMOTE ACCESS'. click on action menu and configure your pc as a router.

i had one set up once. i simply had the modem to my pc, and had a second lan card that went out to a switcher which then went to all of the computers in the house. make sure you bridge the connections or it wont work. no 3rd party software required.

There's a good guide here

And probably some extra NICs or a switch.
