Network Design Question

[abshah]

I'm sharing a single cable Internet connection with approximately 125 users. I connect to the cable modem to SMC's broadband router and then daisy chain several unmanaged switches to connect the 125 users. The user are configured via DHCP from the broadband router.

The problem I'm having is that all the users are on the same LAN and can see each other's shared resources. I would like to limit the users to only the Internet. Is there any a can achieve this?

Thanks.

If users are able to see the resources of other users, it's only because individuals have enabled the 'File and Printer Sharing' feature of the Windows Client Software. Simply use the System Policy Editor to disallow file and/or print sharing.

The System Policy Editor come with Windows and is found on the Windows CD-Rom in \tools\resket\netadmin\ploedit. This feature is well documented and you should not have any trouble implementing your needs.
