Yeah, that'll work to, but it's probably easier to do it via software. I use Sygate, and I right click it and "block all". That makes me think you must never click the Sygate icon. Have you ever gone into "Options" and made sure everything in the "Security" tab is checked? On my particular setup, I can't check "anti IP spoofing" for some reason, but I CAN on my other PC's. You also may want to check the "Network Neighborhood" tab and make sure those two boxes are NOT checked. I use the Pro version, so you may not even have these areas. -Clint

I knew I could pull the phone cable but was not sure it that would have created a problem when I reconnected. LarryB K & L Support-OrpheusComputing.com wrote: > Hopefully you're using a firewall.
