Also, hoping the AP in the Hotel you're staying in - unless it is one in which you maintain the Wi-Fi setup - has client isolation enabled is like hoping the drunk girl you slept with at that party the other night that you can almost remember some of didn't have an STI - it isn't a good nor reliable way of staying safe. :) > > Disabling "Automatically detect settings" on any laptops you support will ensure this NetBIOS attack won't work on them, however it then relies on the Hotel knowing what the settings are for any proxies - which REALLY should be transparent proxies if the truth be told! :) Hiton, I was the OP, and I am the hotel. :) And I am not trying to fix the problem. I am just trying to make "all reasonable efforts" and cut down on my support issues. Also shutting off NetBIOS would clean up the logs a bit as it is a chatty damn protocol. Lee PS: User mode isolation only works if you have 1 AP. You can stilol see everyone on the other APs. |
