my son has a computer that I want completly segmented away from my 3 node lan (he's a node on my lan currently). I've got hardware & software firewalls running but my son is loading all this peer-to-peer software (internet gaming servers, music sharing program, etc) that I'm afraid will open up my systems to hackers.
A friend suggested splitting the cable coming into the house and adding a second cable modem. Put my sons system behind one modem and my lan behind the other.
Seems to me that the cable company might choke on two diff IP address ? Has anyone tried this ? Any suggestions ?
thanks in advance.
