FWIW, I do not run any firewalls on my local network. All the firewall I have needed for the last 2 or 3 years has been in my router. No one has gotten through it that I did not give the passwd to. I used to watch the logs, but watching a Chinese or N. Korean source spend 16 hrs at a time trying to crack it got boring. No the router is not a commercially sold router. ;-) -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
