The solution here is to purchase a Wireless Router with the built in firewall protection. I would recommend that the wireless router (roughly $50) be installed to the cable modem. The two computers can be connected to the router (most can hold up to 4 additional users by patch cables). This would eliminate the need for a host computer.
Configuring the software and firewall with the router is the key to success with intrusions. This will also take care of the daughter and her laptop needs. Most laptops now have built in wireless connection, but USB or network adapters (recommend the same brand as the router for success!) for roughly $40. So for under $100 you can have everything needed to have a secure internet connection - without any additional software or mess.
