Hello group,
I have a adsl router/modem with wifi. This provides me with excellent firewall from the internet, but no firewall at all from wireless wifi users who could access netbios file shares etc. Should I disable my Server service of my Windows computers to protect them from netbios access, if so, can I leave the Workstation service on so that computers cab still access one shared printer? Or should I remove the netbios protocols from the ip adapter?
You could use
But it would be a much better idea to enable WPA or to use an encrypted VPN in your wireless network.
Yours, VB.

You can use Authenticated User Group on File Shares and remove the Everyone Group off the share. Authenticated User group means that the computer must have an account created on the computer for any user from another computer to access the share, which also protects on the printer situation if set correctly. Of course, one must be using NTFS. I would also look into using IPsec that's on the NT based Win 2K O/S and up to protect the Netbios port if not using a personal FW solution to protect TCP port 139.
Authenticated User Group is being talked about in the link.
