What Hotel Chain?
   


It's not a hotel chain.  It's an apartment complex with who knows what
setup between the roadrunner connection and the wireless.

 

They would almost have to have a firewall.  They need to have a router to separate the internal/hotel network from the outside internet and even the cheap routers have a firewall built into them now.  Also the routers operation of separating the internal network from the outside internet is similar to NAT which  should provide a good level of protection from the internet.    

I'll ask further.

As for the internal network you can make  
sure you don't have any shares on your system and have good passwords for your local accounts and you should be fairly safe.
   


Since I don't even do peer, it should be quite safe.

 

It should be then.  I would still check MPTS and verify that you only have the TCP/IP Protocol and not Netbios or Netbios over TCP/IP.

As Neil said your probably "safer with OS/2 and no firewall then with Windoze with a Firewall."
