I just installed Service Pack 2 over XP Pro. I've got a Microsoft
Broadband MN-700, and I had to download and install updated software so
it will work with SP2. Now all of a sudden I have a public IP address,
and the other computers on my little home network are no longer listed
in the device list. Is this a dangerous situation? I don't know very
much about this stuff, but the sound of the term "public IP address"
gets me a little nervous.
I've got Windows XP Pro SP2's firewall turned off and I'm using Zone
Alarm Pro, but I have to use a slightly older version of Zone Alarm
because the latest version doesn't like something about Norton
Anti-Virus and it makes my personal ColdFusion server not function
properly. Should I be concerned about the public IP address?
TIA
