Thought I mentioned this to you before Jeff; all tests show a hardware firewall (at least what I use, DLink DI-704) has the same results with or without a software firewall running at test sites like GRC and the like, except for Symantec's Security Check which showed better results with a software FW running (Sygate or Outpost). There was one other test (which I sent you a few months back) that a hardware FW alone could not past. This was the IP Test from www.grc.com . I only exe Outpost when I'm at any "questionable" websites. However I now have it running always since that latest attack. -Clint
