Use the firewall that comes with windows and use a cheap router to nat only
those ports that need to be exposed. Use firefox with noscript and download
a couple of malware cleaners and run them both to clean up the box. Update
his norton and his system and any other app.
Hope that helps,
Jon

Subject: [LUAU] IP address on Cable
Aloha,
Does anyone on the list have experience with a firewall on an Oceanic
cable feed? Linux or Freebsd is what I use,.but I only have experience
with firewalls on Telcom lines.
I am trying to help a guy with a Windows 7 box. He has netflix on this
cable too so it may have a fixed IP.
He gets attacked a lot with viruses and other weirdness even with Norton
on the box.
Any suggestions appreciated.
