thanks for the ideas, it appears I was only immagining things thinking that dhcp implied temporarely wide open interfaces, thanks god it isn't! The down-side is that now I really really have to read up on ip-chains, and I tried to defer it until I got a working 2.4 kernel with ip-tables. > myself though... I am on dial-up. :( ) I'm lucky, I'm on a cable modem:) This also means I only have this unsafe moment once a day, not really an incentive to fix it, though. -- groetjes, carel
