A bit unsure...I have a wireless router connected to a cable modem. I have the network locked so that you have to know the code to connect. I created a workgroup and connected 3 laptops and the PC wirelessly. I shared some folders on the PC. Are my shared folders safe from Internet access? Second question, if my daughter is in a dorm and connected to the net can she connect to my home network? Thank you very much.

1) the firewall (when configured properly) will prevent outsiders from entering 2) your daughter can connect to your network with something like "simple desktop" or "logmein" software loaded on both machines. these servers will allow you to create a workgroup over the net. the software will also configure the firewall as well. you can google for thier http's.

in regards to the first inquiry: as long as your computers are connected to the router, the broadband modem does not have to be turned on, thus giving you that added security from the internet while home-networking...
