axman666, glad we could help, we all have some answers and seek some others. I'm a (carrier/isp) networking expert who stopped by this forum for a...
I won't have time to explain further--most ISPs have a technical support team to help you setup what you need. The implementation details will...

Due to some IP address assignment technicalities, ISPs generally sell static IP addresses in packs of 1, 5, or 13. A 5-pack is fine for your purposes.
Mrkvonic, I'm glad you pointed that out. Even if you were to identify your username and the bank where you have a 6-character password I'm not...
Most NAT routers purchased in the past five years or so should support online gaming. I can vouch for Motorola and Linksys (except the wireless...
Call your ISP, tell them how many IP addresses you want, and ask about pricing. I would plan for one IP per computer and two IPs for your router....
It would allow you to disable NAT and have more than one computer online at a time. You would assign each computer its own IP address.
Disabling NAT is probably a mistake. Most networks use NAT. Most NAT routers support Internet gaming if you configure them correctly. Check out...

This feature won't stop most ARP spoofing or DoS attacks. If you read their instruction manual, they don't claim to. I'll say it again: A...
I encourage everyone who uses a shared Ethernet LAN to read it. If you connect to the Internet at work, school, hotels, dormitories, or libraries,...
Firewalls (hardware or software) can't effectively defeat ARP-based attacks. You're gonna need good users, a good policy, or a secure switch....
ARP attacks aren't new, and only someone with access to your LAN can launch one--home networks are generally safe. If you administer a network,...
Any security solution should address both hackers and malware. If you're only allowed one security application, your computer is insecure, so I...
Correct. This involves a trojan or spyware running on your computer, or a rogue user attempting to bypass your firewall(s).
Intrusion detection systems can catch some attacks that firewalls can't. As one example, consider DNS Tunneling. A trojan, spyware, or rogue user...

I used the 2006 version. Each time you logon it displays a green, yellow, or red light to tell you its status. It's very easy and rarely asks you...
Gee, this might only apply if you have a blog?! It may seem like magic, but it's simple. If you click on a site you found in Google search, or...
