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.

Subject: Secure installation of Windows XP?
Hi,
I hear stories of how a new Windows XP system is infected within
minutes. So I wonder, what is the procedure to install Windows XP in a
safe way?
PS : In case there are any other Danes on the list, I posted a similar
question on a Danish security newsgroup, but I got very conflicting
responses, so I just want to know the opinion of this list.
