Router question

[CKY_Alliance]

Anyway after living in the stone age for well ages my parents finally got cable enernet and we are using a wireless router i was just wondering if the router exchanges any info from computer to computer other then the connection..like files and such.

Anyone know?

[Jakedubbleya]

yeah, ur network folders and such and all ur "shared" folders, stuff like that.

potentially everything though if somebody knew what they were doing. I dont know much about this stuff though somebody else will likely give you a better answer.

u have to network the two comps. and make sure you only allow those 2 comps on the connecton so no one can get on your wireless.

so without networking they dont share anything but a connection?Or do they still share the shared files?

[WickeDKlowN]

If you have file and printer sharing enabled then yes, you can share files betweent the two.

oo ok thank you..yea right before i read i noticed it and was like hmmm then you said somthign about it so i disabled..thank you and just to confirm this keeps it from sharing all files correct?

Also make sure you have some kind of security on the wireless network. I cant tell you how much fun I have had wardriving around and finding peoples networks. I was really suprised about how many people leave their networks unprotected.
