Hello.

I have WiFi on my home PC. 

On the Network Properties Option (Public or Private) I’m pretty sure selecting Private would be best for me, but I’m not sure.

I don’t want any neighbors being able to “discover” my PC, and have no desire for file sharing. I’m thinking the “Private” selection would make sense and be the choice.

Do I have that right?

Why would anyone operating on a home PC select a Public Network option.

Thanks,

Overwhelmed

Hello @Overwhelmed32 ,

Please have a look at this information concerning Network Properties: HERE and HERE

I use a Private Network myself with my PCs.


I think I understand the difference now, Ssherjj.

Thank you very much for the links and the response.

Oh you are most welcome Overwhelmed! :blush: Forgot to mention that that was a great question for a lot of folks who may not know or understand Network Properties. 

 

Have a great day!

Sherry
