Not to be nitpicky here, buuuuuuuuuuuut... If you can "see all the
directories" of your machines on your LAN, that it is a *serious* security
problem that is unrelated to your router. You should never, ever, *ever*
expose your directories, *ever*.

/me wonders if something hasn't already gotten in and created a guest
account with admin rights...
but then, it also depends on the account used from the new laptop and if
it has admin rights on all machines...
I want my wired pcs connected/accessible to each other, but ofcourse I do not want the network to be exposed to wireless devices. Hence the WTF when I just happened to connect a recent new laptop (the Thinkpad 540p that I mentioned in another echo a couple months ago) to finish some Win7 updates.
