Hi guys, need some help with this one...

I have a laptop and sometimes I connect to private wireless access points in order to go on the Internet. Sometimes I connect without using 'WEP'. Is it possible for the host of the network to find out any passwords that I type over the Internet, e.g. to log on to MSN Messenger? Since all the data that travels between my laptop and the Internet has to go through the host network, does the host then have access to all of that data? Also, can he gain access to my harddrive? I am very paranoid about this...

hi

yes my friend its possible to share whole of the hard disk with your host...
you can just do one just right click on the particular drive you want to share & click on sharing after that....& just follow the instructions what it says after that....
