I suspect a lag in response at either end or somewhere in between raises this question of whether a firewall is preventing completion of a communication between host and client.

That, however, was merely the spark which caused me to wonder about the larger question of whether I should or should not say I am behind a firewall. I am, but it is a personal one over which I have full control so I can make it invisible to to those I chose and give server privileges to apps as I chose. Based on that I would say I am not in the category of someone operating behind an enterprise class firewall which may prevent or lag certain communications.

I learned the hard way that such questions really mean "are you on a network" or "behind a firewall" which is beyond your control. An installation of Lotus SmartSuite on my network caused me untold grief because it assumed that I am not the network administrator.

Unless, you tell me otherwise, I will assume there is no advantage in my situation of saying that I am behind my ZoneAlarm firewall.

Thanks again for your tireless work to make myTrack such a pleasure to use.

Regards,
appro
