I bashed no one nor nothing. I stated the simple truth, MS tech support
would say "ask your system adminstrator" you say "but, I am the
administrator" They'll say sorry sir but all that should have been covered
in your MSCE.
As for the comment on the software, I didn't specificly mention but one
product and that was blind assumption from you mentioning NT. I am not (as
stated) familiar with it and there for in no way shape or form in a place
to judge it. I simply said if the proxy can't do meanial port redirection
you should look for an alternitive, and suggested it was overpriced
because there are lots of free or near free applications that will.
