True, but all filesharing is done through the guest account so security is not completely comprimised 
[/QUOTE]LOL, hopefully no guests drive by and pick up your network!
Of course most folks here know to put the security measures in place on home networks. I know that a lot of people don't, though! We were helping friends set up their laptop for their teen age son (they already have a desktop pc) and I was talking to my friend and asking her about getting a wireless system for their house or was she going to wire things so her son could use the laptop online from other rooms and not have to sit in her study to work, when in wanders my husband with their laptop. He says "Hey I got you on your network, you're all set!"
I told him they not only didn't have a network, they didn't have a modem or know what he was talking about.....hubby figured out he'd logged into the neighbors connection and had access to much of their system! He got off it quickly and told the teen not to log onto any 'networks' til his folks set their own up!
