People adopt different measures to protect their network form different internet threats and other threats. By adopting so many ways still it happens that your network gets infected with some of the threats. There should be some such measures adopted that could guarantee the security of your network. Network safekeeping has for all time been a most important worry with all IT Support , Network Installation and Computer Support services companies so one of the most major method suggested by such companies is to disable the routers DHCP service.
A DHCP server dispenses network settings to wireless computers to allow them to take advantage of network resources. However, it also makes it one step easier to make use of your network resources for self-centered ends. If you only have a small number of wireless computers on your network, you can just organize their wireless network settings manually yourself.
You only require providing each wireless computer a unique Internet Protocol address and subnet mask belonging to the class of private addresses obtainable for anyone’s use. Then, you can put its default gateway to the Internet Protocol inside network address of your wireless router which is already set by the router manufacturer. (You may also want to change the default router’s address for added security.)

Having firewall protection is important to ensuring that your information remains safe and that you do not have to worry about the problems that spyware, adware and malware can put on your computer. These applications can cause serious damage to your system, they can even cause your system to crash and become completely unusable. It is a good idea to ensure that you are protected against these possible threats. There are a few things that should be considered when you are looking into firewall protection.
A firewall is essentially software or hardware that is designed to filter out information that is being sent to or from your computer. Think of a firewall as a Guard at the end of your driveway, before anyone enters your home they must first pass a set of rules or security checks you have given before they are allowed to enter your home. Some of the software-based firewalls include Norton Internet Security, Zone Alarm and Trend Micro. You may be using a hardware firewall and not even know it. If you have a LAN (Local area network) then chances are you have a router of some kind. Most routers come built in with a firewall, which is very effective at protecting your computer from viruses. Another technique used to help prevent viruses is to keep your computer up to date. If you are using a windows based PC, check Windows Update often for any security patches that are released.
Firewalls are usually designed to assist in keeping programs from accessing the internet and transmitting data back to third party sites. These sites include standard updates that you may have set to automatic. These updates can be for everything from your operating system to your file readers. The firewall protection prevents these updates from happening without you knowing about it. This means that adware, spyware, malware and viruses are not able to access the internet in order to update the information on where you have been online, any personal information that you may have on your computer. Firewalls also prevent these elements, which may be on the internet from getting to your computer as you are surfing.
