If you don't have anything checked in the Sharing pane in System Preferences, there's nothing much to firewall anyway. Those checkboxes (I'm guessing here, since you're talking about the router built into the DSL router) are most likely for opening specific holes in the firewall to allow services; if all you want to do is block stuff, firewall config is pretty straightforward. What brand and model is the router, I can look at their manuals online and make sure. If the router has multiple ethernet ports, it's doing NAT anyway and you're pretty much safe. -- Bruce Johnson "No matter where you go, there you are", B.
