updates to PC1 show up on PC2


Sorry, this was originally posted in networking, but seem to be more of a security issue.

PC2/eth0 ->hub<-eth1PC1eth0->DSL->net
Both PCs running MDV 10.2
setp sftp using Konqueror
setup 'net sharing using Mandrake control center
MCC is a little ambiguous about its firewall, but my setting is 'high'
Generally install software thru MCC update or mains. Specifically, MDV 10.2 did not come with Koffice. Also dwnloaded Nvu web editor and Krusader desktop file mgr.

PC2 does not have 'net connection unless PC1 is on. Now that I have had time to inspect more closesly, I installed an icon theme on PC2 (thru PC1 which is the gateway) but at no time did I have either PC logged on to my home network via ssh. This morning, I noticed that PC1 also has the icon theme and I know I did NOT install it intentionally there. My only suspicion is internet sharing, but how or why? This can't be good.

Any help appreciated
THanks

Please do not post the same thread in more than one forum. Picking the most relevant forum and posting it once there makes it easier for other members to help you and keeps the discussion all in one place.
