I have a question about security for my web site. I have two computer (Win xp pro and win 98)linked together as LAN via linksys Cable-Router. Got a cable modem then connected multiple computer to the internet using a single ip address.
In the Router, I used DMZ host to have access to one computer where my web site is hosted. So the putlic can access the website. I read that DMZ host expose PCs to the internet without any protection. You can read about DMZ at Yet, I used window XP Internet Connection Firewall "ICF" to protect the xp computer.But what about the win 98? is it protected or I have to get another fire wall.
Is both computers have protection or not.
thanks for your help
