Spend less than $100 and buy a Linksys WRT54gs or similar and be done with it. They connect to the internet and your desktop(s) use NAT. It keeps the desktops off the evil internet and means you don't have to have to maintain a firewall on each desktop. mh -- Martin Hicks || mort [ at ] bork [ dot ] org || PGP/GnuPG: 0x4C7F2BEE
