Also, check out ... http://www.sharethenet.com ($70) for a simple to install one-diskette boot firewall. Another one is (I think) edge.fireplug.net (free). Although I have rolled my own several times, these are good for quick installs, and do the trick. The sharethenet one is nice - creates the disk under Winders, and once booted, is managed via browser. No affiliation with either, just an admirer. -- Dean Carpenter [EMAIL PROTECTED] 94TT :) Areyes, Inc.
