On a slightly different note, I'm going to be "touring" with my laptop for a few days next week and will probably want to connect it to the public access wireless network in a couple of places I will be staying.

I have ZA enabled on the laptop. Will this be sufficient for protecting the laptop while it's connecting to other access points? Also, because I've got a home network of a ocuple of machines I have file & printer sharing enabled for the wireless device in the laptop, should I unbind this from the TCP/IP connection before I go away? Will this be sufficiant to stop other people being able to see the shared drives/resources on the laptop?

Cheers.
