Edoardo,

The C: partition is NTFS, but the D: partition is FAT32,
and an attached network drive (Ximeta SCSI ) is NTFS

A couple attached W98 machines are obviously FAT32, and
the 4th machine is W2000 and NTFS.

I figure I need to use sharing for the benefit of the W98
machines, but the NTFS disks (between machines)are
creating the challenges in providing access to the files
and the devices (CD-R/W's mainly)

Are you recommending Outpost as firewall software? I've
been using Zone Alarm 4.0 which is a little fussy and I
have to keep up 4 machines, so a better solution is always
interesting. I have a Linux based router with an older
kernel (no iptables, only ipfwadm) so I haven't made it do
the hard work of closing ports and filtering.

I appreciate the help.

Mike
