I don't remember, do you have broadband? (I just deleted all my day-old messages) If yes then: Depends, with some ISPs you can buy extra IP addys. Most, however, don't support more than one IP addy per line in. So, you would have to get a firewall set up (which could be a router or server) if they don't allow you to buy extra IPs. If no: You would *definitely* need a firewall. Erik -- MacNetwork is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and... XRouter Pro | Share your DSL or cable modem between multiple computers!
