Same here with the router, it does all of my firewalling for me.....I tweak
it occasionally, but not much.....

ok, caught the read, tho they do provide the fix that is needed to correct
the "bug" simply by specifying the subnet of your local address that is
allowed to access your shared documents. But even so I agree it should not
have to have this done and should not be exposed by default, file and print
should be disabled by default to keep the average user from exposing their
files. I am sure MS can make a simple patch for that ? lol, well lets hope..
