At home I connect through DSL using DHCP, dynamic IP.  While traveling I use whatever is handy, via wireless.  Thus I need to deal with a variety of network issues, including unknown routers and other computers on the network.  And, of course, switching networks frequently.  But these are mostly firewall issues, not AV issues, so Avast! works well for all of these.

Cox Cable & WiFi away from home.  I have a free dial up account (ten hours a month) if I can't get connected otherwise. ;)

When Comcast is down ( Hardly ever) MySharedFiles remains connected via osmosis....
If that doesn't work, smoke signals get sent to all those connected letting them know that their download
failed..... and I start driving down Rt 66  and deliver them in person.  :)
