Subject: [ShareTheNet] shields up!
I've been using share-the-net for a while now.. Its great... security
is well better than most. Here's what I would like though...
I have a 24/7 connection to the internet but I prob use my machine
33% of that time. In order to have all my "toys" going I needed to
open several ports, both tcp/upd. My list of installed programs on
a win98 machine: ICQ, Age of empires, Quake, RealAudio, Quicktime...
ftp server, http etc.. In a nutshell I have lots of ports open...
What I would like as a feature would be to disable all those extra ports
until the client (my win98 box) goes to use one of them... Then the
router dynamically opens those ports... When those services aren't in use
I would like to be able to disable those ports...
Right now I have two boot disks.. one with all the ports open.. the other
with
nothing. I there a way that this could be implemented into a version of
sharethenet?
Thanks
Bob
