So, it's trivially easy to connect to a non-passworded share. That depends on the DSL provider, I believe. On my USWest.net DSL connection, I only see packets on my side of the bridge that are destined for IP addresses I'm using, or broadcast ethernet/IP packets, which seems to be the same as what @Home customers (at least the ones in Seattle I've spoken with) see. I've heard from other DSL customers that they see everything (like Brian mentions). (Funny that I see lots of ARP requests from a.b.c.d to a.b.c.e, where e=d+1, repeated over, and over, and over again...) (An interesting note is that two DHCP assigned addresses on a hub can be on two entirely different USWest.net IP networks... good thing I'm not a Windows user, since Windows can't handle this!) > Now, ideally, all these shares would be passworded, but we know > that'll never happen.

While I haven't ever seen Network neighborhood announcements, I do notice that *.scour.net has been trying to make SMB connections to my Linux box nearly daily for a while, I presume looking for open file shares with MP3 files so they can grab/index them! USWest doesn't seem to care about this, at least not responding to my complaints to .scour.net and their tech support address.
