Internet Sharing and my Network Location

[hinfeyg2]

Hi,

So my laptop connects to the internet through my landlords wireless network.
I then share this internet connection out through my ethernet connection to my home network.

I can choose my network location on the wifi network like this:
Choosing a network location - Windows Help
but I cannot do this for the ethernet network. The option is not selectable.

What I would like to do is set the Wifi as a PUBLIC network and the ethernet as a HOME network so I can share files and remote desktop and all those groovy things.

Is this possible?

Any help would be appreciated!!

Thanks
Gavin

I believe there should be an option to change location when you enter HomeGroup setup in Network and Sharing Center.
