My Netgear RP614v2 has done quite well for several years now. I tried it with one of those sites that scan your firewall, and the scanner said my network was "invisible to the Net", which was considered a Good Thing. I have several computers connected to my internal firewall, and the only things we use it for are Web and NTP. The Web is normal outgoing only, with response; NTP is "Triggered" by an internal computer requesting the port, then the port is open to NTP servers for one minute. Then we are invisible again. I don't think the RP614v2 is available any more, but I wouldn't consider anything but a Netgear if I have to replace it. The internal web management interface is convenient, too. -- John Perry -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
