There is no need to do such. Your concern is when your computer is turned
on. A firewall is needed. For home use cable I suggest you use a router
device such as those that Best Buy sells from Dlink, Netgear, Microsoft,
Linksys, etc. They can be bought for a s little as $20 after rebates and
will do an extremely good job protecting your computer from inbound
worm/hack attacks that would be one important part of a strategy to protect
your computer. See the links below for more information. --- Steve
