Yes this is very possible... and if you don't use NetBEUI or don't enable it
on the server it should be fine security wise. You may also want to share
your internet connection via the server. The NIC card that has the internet
connection is the one that you set to share, but to set it up... even if you
are using a static IP on this card, for set up purposes let the cand be
Dynamic, and once it is set up than assign it your Static IP.
Don't forget to set your Networked PC's (all other computers that are not
the server) NIC cards to the Default Gateway, which would be the IP of your
Internal NIC on the Server.
