Hi all 
I'm a newbie when it comes to networking
Currently I share the internet connection between two PCs, one with Vista and another with XP installed. These two PCs are connected to my Linksys WRT54GL router wirelessly. I have just installed my Canon PIXMA MP600 printer on the PC with Vista installed and in the Networking and Sharing Center (in Vista), I have the following options enabled under Sharing and Discovery:
Network Discovery
File Sharing
Printer Sharing
The question is, will anyone else outside my wireless network be able to access my printer even though password protected sharing is not enabled in the Networking and Sharing Center?
Thanks
