Hi there.

Is there anyway to block a computer on your wireless network from sending data or spyware to other computers on the network?

The problem is that my stepdad in law is running a cracked Windows Xp, so he can't get all the patches that prevents certain worm and viruses to come in. I tried to convince him to go buy a legal copy of it, but he won't budge. Is there anyway to block his computer from interacting with our 2 other computers on the network, if I set up a static ip on his computer? I supsect that his virus filled junk is spreading to the other systems on the home network.

Thanks :)
