Well, Aaron, I can still see your rantings because they are posted by
others.
I will type now very slowly, so that even you can understand:
Your supposedly modified header means nothing, nada, zilch.
If anyone should attempt to attack your system, he would *not* see it
and therefore it means absolutely *nothing*. It would be different, if
you had a fixed IP-number, not a dial-in, *and* the would-be-attacker was
about as dumb as you are, if you really believe that this scheme would
somehow work to better your security.
This is just completely braindead. When you have read your "TCPIP for
extreme dummies" come back to us and tell us how your "camouflage"
will magically deter or hinder any hackers (even the very dumb ones)

I just made it up a typical statement that illustrates the utter
uselessness of Mafia$oft's Windows help.
The fact that you thought it was genuine proves my point about
the utter lack of information in Windows Help.
