Hi,

I have a problem where i need to build (cheaply) an enviroment where i can have several pc/laptop connected to the internet but they cannot connect to each other.

The reason is that all these pc/laptop are virus infected i need to avoid cross contermination.

Any suggestions would be greatly appriciated.

You can disable the admin shares on each PC and disable file and print sharing.

If you use a WRT54GL or other router that will run DD-WRT you can define a VLAN on one or more ports of the switch and assign it to a separate subnet, forcing traffic through the router portion of the unit. Once there you can apply access lists and filters to lock things down.

Also, if you use wireless to connect and your AP supports it you can turn on Client Isolation which disallows clients communicating with each other directly.

Do they all need to be online all the time? Cause umm that wouldn't be smart either they can get reinfected.

What equipment do you have? Router(s) - make(s) and model(s)

Hope this helps Posted Image
