[QUOTE="Aptmunich, post: 125335, member: 3850"] I 4th that - a router would seem like the easiest solution here. It'll basically split the internet connection up for all systems before it even gets to the PC. Alternatively, you can set up restricted user accounts using Windows XP, check out this page for more info: [url]http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/setup/getstarted/configaccount.mspx[/url] I think you'd basically need the Guest or restricted account type, as even a regular (i.e. non-admin) account is fairly vulnerable to internet crap under Windows. Or buy another mac and forget about that stuff? [/QUOTE]
