The reason why I got a router was not the security, but to get 2 computer cable connections working. Your link will come handy then.. @gilzu: Thanks for the link.

The whole security advantage of a router, is that no connection will ever be made unless you initiated it, or specifically opened a port for it. This way, your firewall doesn't need handle and identify any unneccessary calls. try out this site: http://www.portforward.com/ its full with explanations and configurations for every known program.

I haven't (yet) take the time to learn about the firewall that comes with the router. Very good that you brought this up - as it was natural for me to block windows file sharing & use firewall I simply forgot to mention it. Thanks. @Matt: I have firewall software running on my computer. I haven’t (yet) take the time to learn about the firewall that comes with the router.

It would be wise to only redirect the ports that are required for the Edoiki, otherwise you're just opening your computer up to the outside world. For example, ports 137-139 & 445 are used for Windows file sharing (TCP via NetBT or straight over TCP). With no firewall or some mistake in configuration, you're computer and it's files/other resources will be open to abuse. That really isn’t recommended.
