I have been following cable post as it's coming to my area soon. Security is a big issue with it. Following quite a few messages on it in a different area it was suggested that a firewall will do little to protect you on a cable network. The cable connection is acting like a bridge in most cases. A bridge does not route packets, it passes packets from one interface to the other. Everyone is sharing all the traffic of all nodes. A router was suggested in between you and the cable provider from one post. A little elaborate for just a simple home network or computer user. I don't have cable and have little experience with networking. I'm just monitoring the messages on it to make a decision when the time comes if I want to travel down that road. There is a big security issue with it that most don't consider. Be interested in hearing from others on the subject to get some education on how best to handle it.

Re: [Re: [[newbie] dumb firewall question]]
Some of the script attacks were from the @Home ( or flavors of @Home (ie: @Roadrunner) meaning the 24.x.x.x IP set. But there were quite a few who were on other ISP's but I had a trace route of their IP#, heheh I could even trace a private network ( 192.168.x.x) node back to a specific city/town. But all they said was they weren't responsible for MY security. I have even seen the '@Home security "AUTHORIZED" scan' of their own running and turning up in the BlackICE logs. And yes I realise some of the IP's that were atacking me were ALREADY compromised by the script kiddies, but @Home should at least acknowledge some responsibility.
