RE: Secure installation of Windows XP?

["Dunigan, Michael" <mdunigan () umich edu>]

        Lots of people around here install behind a residential grade
router (i.e. Linksys router) with DHCP turned on.  Then once Windows XP
is patched and has anti-virus installed, they move the machine to the
production network.
