If you want to share files from a XP computer but you want to remove it
from showing up in the Network Neighborhood, follow the next steps:


1. Click Start -> Run and type cmd and click OK.

2. In the command prompt box type the following command:
net config server /hidden:yes3. Now your XP computer is hidden in the Network Neighborhood

 similarly for windows 7, 8
cant see it, cant use it

 Unfortunately, simple permissions are hard to get right, and I can
imagine some fairly confidential things that a church might not want to
expose to the public.

 The dual NAT router setup is easy, inexpensive, and solid. I have one

wireless router behind it. I also do some fancy VLAN stuff, but it
isn't really necessary.
