If you are at home on your laptop it makes little difference, as the privacy of your LAN is determined by the settings in the router for your LAN. You know who is on you home network. If you would go to a LAN outside of your home in an area you do not consider safe. Click Notifications; ( the Square on the left corner of your screen) Click Network; (If you do not have Network in the Notifications, Setting, System, Notifications and Actions, and add Network to Notifications.) Click the network you are connected; Click Properties for this network. Click the option you want for that network. -- 2018: The year we learn to play the great game of Euchre |

I believe it *does* make a difference. My understanding is that when the network is set to "Public" your computer does not make its assets (directory shares, printers, etc) known to other computers on the network. If the network is set to "Private", then those assets are broadcast, so "Private" is what you want on your home net. -- Tim Slattery tim at risingdove dot com |

My statement was base on the a home network like mine where the only computers on the LAN belong to our family. It is behind the firewall provided by the router, so non network computer can not access it. If your Home network is in a semi public environment, ie a school dorm, school, common to multiple apartments, etc then what I said would be wrong. -- 2018: The year we learn to play the great game of Euchre |

If you don't want to hear from a troll, killfile him. That means the rest of us who already have him killfiled don't have to read his messages in your quotes. It also means that he will get tired of getting no replies. *That* will make him go away; your insults will not. |
