I believe what was referred to is IP filtering by SlimServer itself, i.e. Server Settings - Security - Block Incoming Connections. I suppose IP blocking at the router would eliminate all access attempts to the SlimServer machine, from SlimServer clients or otherwise. I'm wondering if it would offer any additional protection though - while the router would let traffic through SlimServer wouldn't respond to any connection attempts. -- Mark Lanctot ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=23132 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
