Computer name blocker

[ghengis]

Hi there

Can anyone reccommend some software maybe firewall
or network security applicaton, which can hide a
computer name within a workgroup or block
access from another computer on the workgroup.
Better yet! I would perfer both.

The reason is I want the computer on the workgroup
to share internet from another computer on the workgroup. Its that there is another machine in which I do not want access granted to. Even though its password protected and files encrypted. I perfer something to block the other computer's IP or Name.

Thanks

I think that sygate's free firewall will do what you want.

when you install it, the program identifies all networks and internet and lets you chose if it is a trusted network (lets others see your IP) or you can set it as untrusted networks (internet and the networks you dont want your IP to be shown to)
