    Can you explain what you mean by "network location"? There are IP address ranges that are defined for use by private networks - and cannot be routed out on the public internet - but it's not clear if that's what you mean.

    Or perhaps you're referring to VPNs and whether you should be using one?

    Are you using Vista and asking which choice you should make for your network connection (Private/Home/Public)?

    Home will suffice. File Sharing isn't enabled by default anyway and you can check that in the Network Control Center.
