I've set up a wireless network in my home (PC connected to cable modem
to Netgear WGR614 so that my laptop can connect wirelessly). I've set
file sharing so that each system can access the files on each other
(the "My Documents" folders only - not the root directories). I've
set the system up with SSID not broadcast, limited MAC access (only
the laptop), and WEP encryption.
I'm getting ready to go on a trip and plan to bring the laptop so that
I can access the free wireless hotspot in my hotel. I'm a newbie at
this so bear with these questions:
1. With my folders now set to be shared across my home network will
there be any possiblity they would then be shared across the hotel's
network?
2. Due to file/printer sharing at home, I've turned off XP's firewall.
Should I turn it on when on the hotel's network?
Appreciate any insights.
