Wireless Network in Public Places Options

What is a list of options for setting up a public wifi network where each
person that connects couldn't see the other person in network neighborhood,
or even ping them, using 1 wireless router?

any suggestions?

I would just disable File and Printer sharing....

this is for security in a hotel, with users not knowing how to do that kind
of stuff, and the hotel staff doesn't want to interfere with any sharing,
etc..of their work files. so that when they go home, all their mapped
drives, etc...are still there.

Just ensure that the Access Point you purchase has a protocol filter.
Filter the Windows File Sharing Ports (Netbios).

AS Lucas said, block the Netbios file sharing ports (135, 137,138,139
and 445).
This will not block a ping. Ping is a different protocol. Blocking every
port won't block a ping.

The user would need to take it upon himself to have a firewall installed on
his computer to protect him from other wireless network users. Windows XP
has a built in firewall and there are many free for personal use ones
available such as Zone Alarm. --- Steve

Use DHCP to provide IP addresses, and simply do *not* route
to those addresses, but *only* to an Internet gateway.

a smart person would still be able to scan ip's and connect that way

security for them, and not have to have them do anything...
