Simple Network/File Share
« on: November 08, 2016, 05:15:03 pm »
Is there an easy way to get convenient file sharing to a win XP machine that I do not want to connect to the internet? I have not looked into my router setting so do not know if there is a setting to block Internet from a specific device on the network. I'd want to use wireless since cables would need to run across buildings over a drive way.

Use a static IP and set the gateway to 0.0.0.0 on the XP machine?  That should allow LAN traffic but the box won't know how to access the outside world.
