I have a wireless network set up at home with three computers on it to share cable internet access. I do wedding and portrait photography and have a dedicated PC for editing, that is not on the network and not on the internet.

Is there a way to add this stand alone PC to the network so I can share files, but not expose it to the internet? I do not have antivirus software, spybot, antispam, etc on it for performance reasons. I also archive customer image files (duplicated on two HDD's) and cannot risk losing these files to virus, etc.

Thanks for your help.

as soon as you plug it into the network, it's at risk. Worms could ge on your internet PC's and then spread to your desktop, even if it's blocked from the internet.


The best thing would be to practice safe habits, i.e. full patches, runn A/V (shouldn't bog down a decent system that much), S/W firewall, etc. One option would be to get a decent firewall between your network and your editing box, and route between them, that would be better, but more complex.
