Hi,
Could someone refer me to a good explanation how to share securly a folder
between a Vista computer and a XP computer in a home network while not
exposing it to both the internet?
I have two desktop and a router (which acts like a NAT of course).
Thanks
Grace

you don't use public IP addresses. You should be fine. This how to may help
too.
