Fiber optic Internet connection. Home, Work or Public network?
Hey people. So I am connected to internet to fiber optic, so there's no modem, or router, just the Ethernet cable that goes to my Ethernet card. What option should I choose in the Network Sharing Center? Home, Work, Public? I use this connection at home, but since it's fiber optic, it's more like a LAN connection. What should I choose to make sure nobody sees my files, uses my printers and stuff like that? Thanks

Thanks If your hardware is relatively new (ie the last year) I would use Homegroup, if an older legacy system I would use workgroup. |
