NOTE: ICS should only be installed on the computer that you use to connect to the Internet. To install Internet Connection Sharing (ICS): These procedures should be repeated on computers that need to share files or obtain access to shared files but whose adapter is exposed to the Internet.Īnother solution is to install Internet Connection Sharing if you are running Windows 98 Second Edition which provides protection as documented in the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:Ģ41570 Security Features of Internet Connection Sharing Click Start, point to Settings, click Control Panel, and then double-click Network.Ĭlick Add, click Protocol, under Manufacturers, click Microsoft and then double-click NetBEUI.
To configure a network to safely share files and printers on a network adapter exposed to the Internet, unbind File and Printer sharing to TCP/IP binding to the exposed adapter:Ĭlick TCP/IP->Network adapter, click Properties, and then click the Bindings tab.Ĭlick to clear the File and Printer Sharing check box, click OK, and then click OK. Internet connects to a broadband device connected to a Hub that connects to home computers A common example of this scenario occurs with cable modem or DSL connections where the broadband device is connected directly into a hub that each computer uses to connect to the home network, as in the following example: Enabling File and Printer Sharing using the TCP/IP protocol may expose shared files or shared printers to the Internet. NOTE: In some cases, it may be necessary to share files and printers through the same network adapter that is used to access the Internet. Local network file sharing or printer sharing is not affected. This disables the File And Printer Sharing component only for the Dial-Up Networking adapter. To disable the File And Printer Sharing component for your Dial-Up adapter:Ĭlick Start, point to Settings, click Control Panel, and then double-click Network.Ĭlick TCP/IP->Dial-up Adapter, click Properties, and then click the Bindings tab.Ĭlick to clear the File and Printer Sharing check box, click OK, and then click OK. NOTE: Microsoft strongly recommends not enabling the File And Printer Sharing component with Dial-up Networking. If the File And Printer Sharing component is enabled for the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) stack that is bound to your Dial-Up adapter, external users of the Internet may have access to your computer or network. This prompt is a security reminder that disabling the File And Printer Sharing network component while you have your Dial-up Networking connection open prevents unauthorized access to your files, printers, and network. Would you like Windows to disable file and printer sharing on the TCP/IP connection to the Internet? Other users on the Internet might be able to access your files. File and printer sharing is running on the TCP/IP connection you will use to access the Internet.
