[DHCP, getting DNS, routing out to the Internet, etc]. And
when I went back to the airport a few days later, my laptop
didn't even ask me: I fired it up and I was connected...
It's a good idea to unbind Client for Microsoft Networks and
File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks from the
wireless connection if the laptop is regularly used to connect
to HotSpots. Depending on the settings, a firewall will not
protect from the other hotspot users since they would normally
be in the firewall's trusted zone.
