While we are on this topic... I have on my own PC several PICS I do not ever want to show up on her PC. Is that a possibility? We have the same IP Address because our Internet provider only allows one per household. On my laptop, I have the (3) following network options: 1. Home Network 2. Work Network 3. Public Network I have it set to public network, because it seems like it would keep my stuff more private from her if it thinks I'm in a public place. |

That is usually unique and determined by your home router (unless you change your router settings and I don't recommend that to the inexperienced). If you are using windows then the Music, Video and Pictures folders are usually set to share by default. As long as you keep your private files out of those 3 folders, you should not be broadcasting them thru your network. Keep stuff out of My Documents also, Just in case. |

Will that do the trick? |

DO NOT share your entire drive, that's how you get in trouble. Easy way to see what is shared is to go to another computer and look on the network and see what you can see (if anything) from your computer. |
