Abstract

An apparatus for a network of computers is presented. A plurality of inner firewalls operate within a personal computer. The personal computer operates in a network of computers and includes at least one microprocessor and at least two memory components. The plurality of inner firewalls deny access to a first memory component of the personal computer by another computer through a network connection with the personal computer during a shared operation. The plurality of inner firewalls also allow access to a second memory component of the personal computer by the other computer through the network connection with the personal computer during the shared operation.

Claims

1. An apparatus, comprising:

a plurality of inner firewalls configured to operate within a personal computer, said personal computer being configured to operate in a network of computers,

said personal computer including at least one microprocessor and at least two memory components,

said plurality of inner firewalls being configured to deny access to at least a first memory component of said personal computer by another computer through a network connection with said personal computer during a shared operation, and

said plurality of inner firewalls being configured to allow access to at least a second memory component of said personal computer by said another computer through said network connection with said personal computer during said shared operation.
