Yes I know Win XP Firewall is not all that, but I found Zone Alarm too fiddly and bu&&ered my network. I don't use either now, as I keep new hardware firewall DSL router thingy up to date with updates / flash updates. I don't do wireless (though my laptop does and is normally kept switched off)...though aparently 6 neighbours do, one of which is not password protected! -- Neil Arlidge - NB Earnest - Shannon Reg 7410 Read about the TNC Irish travels at: http://www.tuesdaynightclub.co.uk/Tour_07/index.html Defend The Waterways: http://www.saveourwaterways.org.uk/
