Exactly my feelings. Better losing a good one than receiving an unwanted one... ok also on the external firewall. I have a modem/router/firewall/access point by Netgear, with the NAT feature, which each day blocks many hundreds attempts of undesired accesses from the outside wild, mostly by NETBios ports scanners. I see it from the logs it produces. 73 Alberto I2PHD ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Check out the new improvements in Yahoo!
