| 704617 | 2008-09-12 03:33:00 | One of our local magazine stores offers there wireless broadband for free, Whilst I understand that any data transfered is open for all to intercept, I'm unsure of how safe my own laptop will be from potential attacks. Will it be easily fixed with a firewall? Any advise greatly appreciated |

| 704618 | 2008-09-12 04:28:00 | Is the laptop Vista, if so, you can change the network properties to tell Vista you are not in a safe environment (ie Home or work network), it will close access to all shares and printers for you while allowing you to browse on the free broadband.... | SolMiester (139) | ||
