Posts Tagged ‘shared folders’

I have a secure wireless network that I added shared files to. I feel that my computer is safe on my network. But, if I go to a coffeehouse or the library, with my laptop, and use their network, will I be sharing my folders with everybody on that network?

I have been trying unsuccessfully to connect my computer to the shared network in order to view and use other people’s files. I can connect to the internet fine, but the shared file network, which everyone else is on fine, doesn’t work. My computer shows up as being on the network infrequently on other people’s computers but I cannot view any of the shared folders.
