The interal MS FW, works, but is too much work to adjust.. For that reason I used on windows an old free Norton firewall, that could very easily be configured, and which gives me the possibility to shut down all ports imediately, and block all connections, from the systemtray. Unfortunately, you are right about the difficulties some may encounter configuring the FW, but a few attempts will show them what and why is needed. As happened to me configuring my first FW. > > I'd suggest to put such logs on bugzilla. > > One possible way could be to open up the rule to the local subnet only > (I think almost nobody uses routing at home?

How to get all the nessesary drivers- and evt bios upgrades, without an internet connection? or in case of formatting and reinstalling, i have to use the local network, to place the temp. back-up on some available HDD. If one has more than 2 PC's, one can not do without a router, is my opinion.
