Hi folks,
Not sure if this is better in the Windows forum but here goes.
I am moving in to a new office with a mate. We will be provided with an ethernet cable providing internet access. We're going to connect this to our gigabit switch and run all our machines and NAS etc. off this switch.
I am aware of how to prevent access to our machines by using Permissions, which works very well, but I'd ideally like to prevent our machines/NAS etc. from being visible at all to anyone outside our local network on the switch.
I would hope this should be simple but my google fu is failing me. Network Discovery seems to be what I need but it seems to prevent the machine(s) being visible to eachother too, which is not what I want.
I basically want all our local machines on the switch to see eachother but not to be seen by any machines on the other end of that internet cable.
Cheers!
