Firewall or ???

Hi Everyone,

I look after a small LAN on for a small rural resort. They've got a handful of computers plugged into a Linksys BEFSR41

router for network & internet connectivity.

I'm looking for some way to set things up so that if this resort "shares" its internet connection with a few neighbours they can't "see" the other computers on the LAN, nor can the neighbours see each other's computers. The computers at the resort should still be able to see each other.

Can anyone recommend a (hopefully inexpensive) piece of hardware to accomplish this? I know I could probably research some kind of a Linux box to manage the traffic, but I'd prefer to have some kind of small dedicated piece of equipment that doesn't risk a hard disk failure, power supply failure etc. as I'm six hours away and the folks at the resort are computer illiterate.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers, Geoff Glave Vancouver, Canada
