    Is SMB (v1 or v2 or v3) the only way to access remote shared folders?

    I need just some clarifications: Is SMB (protocol) the only way to access remote shared folders (in small networks without Active Directory)? So whenever I want to list and use remote shared folders then SMB (either v1 or v2 or v3) must be enabled (on both computers). Correct?

    Windows 7 Having a offline Computer hooked up to a online network

    Hey guys, I have a small network, running 5 computers. One of these computers needs to stay offline, but is needing to connect to the network to backup on the backup drive. Is there a way I can use windows firewall to block all internet access to this computer? Thanks
