Dear Mr phobos, I know just enough to enable loggin, and I can see there is something called UPNP disabled. Right. But I didn't do it. Where is it, and should I turn it on?
I am told that my router is a firewall. There are also Windows' own firewall and other commercial 'total protection suites'. I know what gnats are but not what a NAT is. And please, how do I 'punch a hole' in any of them? I did use Vidalia. No success in my log. For my Linux box, lotsa handshakes, onion skins, 3 cells, 6 cells, a child wants to read, another wants to write, more handshakes, then warning failure orport not reachable. OT, I have a linux box because I am so fed up with being hacked and remote-administered, and Debian said nothing could be installed without my root password - I hope I understood this much correctly? So why should java and javascript be a problem? Trying to help case by case will likely take up an unacceptable amount of the developers' time. Efficiency lies in standardisation and mass production. So Mr Freemor, I concur with you on the need for user education. I absolutely agree with Mr del Vacchio about making the process as painless as possible.
