Ok, I've unchecked TCP/IP but still have others such as MS Client, QoS and of course, the network monitors such as 
VMON1 and Network Monitor Driver. 

I was under the impression that without a viable IP on the NIC, it could never be accessed from remote but could be 
used in promiscuous mode to read traffic.

So, disabling some of these protocols will allow me to safely connect it on the public side again then?

One last thing, is the WinPcap driver something I should see in the list of protocols?
