Uh... I think that's part of the problem with NT. At what point
are you SURE you are not running anything else on that firewall. That
plus the fact that they have only RECENTLY (SP5) given us the ablility
to disable source-routing in the tcp/ip stack. Prior to that, it was
enabled with no way to disable it. How many were aware of that and how
many are confident that there aren't any other ticking timebombs buried
in that stack somewhere?
