Hi. Does anyone know of a reliable way to secure a peer to peer? My company has a small network (7pcs) w/98SE. We will be getting DSL shortly and I am concerned about hackers. We are running Norton Internet Security but upon testing some of
our computers they still show open ports currently. I have been asking around and have gotten many different suggestions. A
number of people have told me that we should set up an NT Server. However, becasue we have proprietary acocunting software, and also becasue of the other compatibility issues I have heard of with Windows 2000, it does not seem to be a possible choice for us at this time. On the other hand, it does not
make sense to me to spend money purchasing and implementing NT4.0, which is being phased out. Another suggestion I have gotten is to leave our network as it is and
install some type of hardware firewall/router like Webramp. However,
someone else told me that would not actually create any security at all on a peer-to-peer. I would very much appreciate your opinion in helping me sort out fact from
fiction. Thanks! Crista
