Hello,

I wonder if anyone can give me advice.

We are a small company with 80 or so PC terminals on a network
controlled by an NT4 server. We have recently had broadband internet
access installed as a point on our network. This will give us a
permanent IP address which I believe to pose a security threat. Many
of our computers have shared directories (no passwords) including the
NT server, but the user must be added to the NT server user list in
order to access its directories.

All of the PCs look to a proxy server for internet access, which in
turn looks to the broadband box for access.

Can anyone advise me on the security precautions I should take? I have
looked at firewall hardware but there are so many on the market.

Much appreciated,

David.
