Hello
I use a router with my desktop and laptop. When I am away, what is the safest yet easiest way to use my laptop? We are with a friend with Comcast who will let us use their cable[+ Pc] but I do not trust the security of their pc. I think I lose some security without my router/firewall but it would seem impractical to install my router softeware in their pc. I dont want to waste your time with the ideas I have come up with but one is to run their ethernet cable from their modem to my laptop instead of their pc and when done just replace it to their pc. If this is the way, can it be done on the fly? Are there any connection adjustments in the control panel I have to make like enable or disable local area etc.? Thank you |
