I just got a laptop with built in wireless and have been having fun driving around to coffee shops and what not seeing what signals I can pick up. I notice "computer to computer" connections available although I have not tried to connect to them. Am I right to assume that these connections are also laptops or other wireless devices in the area? If that's true, could someone connect to my laptop when my wireless card is enabled and if so is there some security I should set up?
Nother question - should I use the Windows Zero Configuration Utility or the Intel Proset/Wireless utility? I have been using the windows configuration utility and it seems fine, but was wondering if the Intel Proset has better features, etc? If not, should I disable the Intel Proset software so it isn't taking up resources?
Good Karma to you!
