It is OK, I don't need another PC to run any new Firewall software as I have a spare PC which could do the work. It just I am not sure if PC running firewall software will be any better than the existing Virgin\netgear cable router. With the virgin router I can't set the dns as they are inherited from Virgin but I have the option of port forwarding dmz etc. Just as a pointer, the old firewall is a P2\200mhz 64mb Viglen PC running IPCop 1.2, yes it is that old. I picked it up third hand and it has run pretty much 24\7 for the 8 years Tim -- Next meeting: Blandford Forum, Wednesday 2011-03-02 20:00 Meets, Mailing list, IRC, LinkedIn, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk/ How to Report Bugs Effectively: http://goo.gl/4Xue
