What will be my correct network type ?

Hello,

I have 3 PCs at my residence right now.. (all with win7 Pro) (ESET SMART SECURITY installed) .
All of them connected to a 8port switch (wired connections). My ADSL modem is connected via LAN cable to the same SWITCH (so all the PCs share the same internet modem directly)

Now while sharing my files over LAN,what network type should i select ? HOME , WORK or PUBLIC ?
(PUBLIC options says that if you do not reco. all the PCs, select this option..so if my Broadband is connected to the PC directly,is that a PUBLIC network?)

best wishes

Would the advice change if the computers were a mix of Windows 7 and XP Pro?

Hi select Home and follow Brinks advice and join them all using homegroup it will make it easier to share files.

hi,

sharing files and folders was not a difficult issue... the security provided by windows to the diff types of networks was the main concern....

(I may be wrong but what I thought was ,if my pc is directly connected to the internet Broadband modem..im on a public network)

best wishes

ok..

thank you all for the help..
