OK. Usually a proxy server has at least two network adapters. If the network
share does not need to be exposed to the internet [hopefully not] then you
could disable file and print sharing on just the external network adapter
and leave it enabled on the "internal" adapter. Usually if a share needs to
be available to internet users a VPN server is used. If you want to use a
software firewall I like Sygate Pro. You could install it and disable the
firewall itself if you do not need it and just use it for its ample logging
abilities. --- Steve
