Also, hoping the AP in the Hotel you're staying in - unless it is one in which you maintain the Wi-Fi setup - has client isolation enabled is like hoping the drunk girl you slept with at that party the other night that you can almost remember some of didn't have an STI - it isn't a good nor reliable way of staying safe.  :)

Hiton, I was the OP, and I am the hotel. :)  And I am not trying to fix 
the problem.  I am just trying to make "all reasonable efforts" and cut 
down on my support issues.  Also shutting off NetBIOS would clean up the 
logs a bit as it is a chatty damn protocol.

PS: User mode isolation only works if you have 1 AP.  You can stilol see 
everyone on the other APs.
