I am not a network guru for starters. I have built a few home networks using
NAT and Windows 2000 Server before. Now I am in a new place and have three
computers running Windows XP. I have a cable modem hooked into a D-Link
wired and wireless router which is using NAT. In addition I have Zone Alarm
pro on each compter. I would like to share files and a printer between all
three. I used the XP Network wizard and it recommend not to set up a network
in this fashion since it would be insecure. The wizard recommend i use one
XP computer to share connections with the other. Does anyone have any
thoughts on this? I would rather not use connection sharing and I do not
want to setup a server.

if you have a router, setup peer to peer network should be OK.
