Re: Security with Cable Modem and ComCast?

I think the poster was more concerned about opening up the network in windows and seeing all his neighbors (and them seeing him). Rather than neighbors "sniffing" his traffic. This has been stopped by the cable modems no longer allowing in and out traffic over those ports that are used.

Broadcast packets can obviously still be captured.
