Excerpt from the site on this subject (95/98 security):

Network Bondage
Discipline your network bindings in the privacy of your own home.

Microsoft's networking technology is only required for sharing files and printer services with other Microsoft-based PC's. It is not needed for connecting to the Internet or for using any Internet services. Using it in wide area networking (WAN - like the Internet) situations, dramatically lowers your security by divulging information about you and your computer, exposing Microsoft's weak password protection system to password crackers over the Internet, bringing your machine to the attention of Internet scanners and intruders and making you a target for attack.

When going through the process, if you do, print out the instructions, read through them once. Don't be intimidated. It is very step by step. Then have the instructions next to you as you work through the changes.
