But I don't have any other pc connected to it <yet> Mostly I'm using it for a poor man's hardware firewall (it's configured not to forward any ports to my PC so even if I goof on the linux software firewall, or fire up an outdated installation, I'm still fairly well protected from the internet (I think?) Of course I don't run as root either, And I won't boot my Win98 partition without shutting down the cable modem completely <grin>, But I'm not sure I'm paranoid enough, there are some bad boys out there much smarter than I am after all... As soon as I get a chance (probably tomorrow) I'll boot the MDK 10.1 and try the "ping -a 127.0.0.1" I'll post the results shortly afterwards. Thanks again Ati, I appreciate the suggestion. - -- | ? ? | | -=- -=- I'm NOT clueless... | <?> <?> But I just don't know. | ^ Joe (theWordy) Philbrook | --- J(tWdy)P | <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | ? ? ################################################################# # gpg sig for: Joe (theWordy) Philbrook <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (:-0% # # You can find my public gpg key at http://pgpkeys.mit.edu/ # ################################################################# -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFB9D/VRZ/61mwhY94RAkDNAKCTB3mODjuBYFP+axxpGoHo8atrLwCfac2W DNwS4JAjqfgGETJ5TCPl+i0= =IVgZ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
