hellau i do not think that this can be the solution. the internet is not only located on port 21, 25, 80, 111 and 666 (for doom :-)). in my opinion i'm not wanted to banned to those well known ports. i want to share sources over the net (even it's kamikaze) and i want to choose witch services i will run on my computer with my licenced software.
1. if microsoft are not able to make a secure standard installation, then it's their responsibilty to make it better and not patch it with shutting down some internet functions. 2. another solution would be to sell only router-adsl-modems (with some standard safe-ruleset) 3. or for providers; they could offering for their customers a basic "iptables" firwall; surly with a web-gui (like a spam-filter for e-mails). gruss marcel -----Ursprungliche Nachricht----- Von: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Auftrag von Roger Buchwalder Gesendet: Samstag, 17.
