file & printer sharing is not enabled by default to public firewall profile. if you are not sure whether it was allowed by some thing reset firewall by typing these two commands at administrator cmd prompt < netsh firewall reset > , < netsh advfirewall reset >
some times your antivirus software may disable windows firewall & put it's local network firewall profile. check your antivirus also if it has a firewall

Public Network is supposed to be more secure. See:

But I never use this. I set for network connection for Home/Work.
Then I go to the Home/Work settings and enforce the two password protection settings. That will stop any access.
