Quite correct, I have used this set up for so long on an Intranet, which needs access, and therefore must be set to "online", I had forgotten why I had it like that. Of course, I have proper security in place, so it isn't accessible from outside. >---------------------------------------------------------------------- >I think that being slightly paranoid when it comes to security is >always a good thing, so my personal advice is leave Wamp5 "offline". >---------------------------------------------------------------------- True, although in the real world, the chance of anyone be able to do anything nasty *simply because of this setting*, is very small - but as you say, why risk it when you don't have to. -- Pete Clark Sunny Andalucia http://hotcosta.com/Andalucia.Spain
