With good reason. In bridging mode with a Windows 9x/NT box, your network neighborhood will show everyone else's PC that has any file/print sharing enabled. So, it's trivially easy to connect to a non-passworded share.That depends on the DSL provider, I believe. On my USWest.net DSL connection, I only see packets on my side of the bridge that are destined for IP addresses I'm using, or broadcast ethernet/IP packets, which seems to be the same as what @Home customers (at least the ones in Seattle I've spoken with) see. I've heard from other DSL customers
The broadcast packets are what are used for discovering other computers in the Network Neighborhood. US West may be filtering on port 139 to prevent this now. This was a problem with USWest.net, at least in the beginning of DSL. Brian
