well not directly superfluos. For instance, there could be situations, where you want to protect a machine, e.g. a server from attacks that come from your private internal network. Otherwise, your speedtouch sort of "isolates" your private 192.168.x.x network from the offical internet. So if you trust your family members and as long as you are using Linux ;-))), I would indeed say that you do not need a firewall on each machine, as long as your speedtouch serves as a firewall for your internal network. So it is not superfluous but it depends ;-)) kind regards Eberhard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
