Hi!

I have a 'simple' question for you guys. I made a simple LAN at home with 4
friends with my PC as the gateway to the internet. I installed a firewall
software (Blackice) on my PC but i woudl like to know whether it means that
I'm also protecting their computers. In a sense everybody is using the same
IP address... so do is mean that they cannot be attacked?

Thanks
