My experience is with a separate computer (old '486) that was a firewall for my LAN. The '486 ran a 5
license Injoy. The pro version was not out then. Keep in mind I've been using an SMC7004BR
firewall/router/switch for almost two years now. Which means I'm rusty on Injoy. If my experience
seems to fit your problem domain I'll try to answer your questions.

IIRC it can be set up that way but only the computer running Injoy will be protected. No other
computers on your LAN will benefit.

What I did was: cable modem -> 486 (Injoy and two NICs) -> Uplink port on hub -> LAN.

Note: I could have used that 486 machine as a workstation but I simply stuck it in an out of the way
place and let it run. That way my wife could use the internet from her computer without my computer
being on.
