Setting up a safe lan.

A winXP box and a WinME box with linksys router sharing the internet. I like for the PC to be able to share files only in the LAN.

setup personal firewall software on each pc and setup rules so that only allowed machines would be able to access it.
get ZoneAlarm from http://www.zonelabs.com

Irmoore is correct.

When you are behind something such as a linksys router your real worry is yourself.

It is most likely with your router that nobody can exploit your machine unless you execute an exe on your machine that makes you vunerable.
