I'm staying at a motel that provides free wi fi to the guests. The motel provides several lines that I can connect to. Each lines have several channels. Now I do have a firwall (Comodo). I need to know if the people at the motel can see where i'm surfing or the person next door can do the same. Please reply.

Typically, you wouldn't need to worry.

Curious question - Can you see anything in Network Neighbourhood?

If you have your firewall on high, you will be ok. Disable things like File & printer Sharing and unshare any shared folders.

if the hotel ahs a proxy server, or a logging firewall, the administrator would typically be able to see the list of http/https requests you have made.
