Bob, like thecow, I also use the free version of ZoneAlrm and find it to work well as an added security measure behind the NAT by the LinkSys router. The advantage of using ZA is that you can control outbound and inbound traffic, while the router controls only inbound traffic. Being able to control what programs have access to the Net enables you to quickly detect any trojans that may have been installed unknowingly. In addition you can disallow servers from connecting to the net using ZA. I block ALL local and internet servers using ZA. There has been prior posts here on the NTFS/FAT32 issues. My main reason for using NTFS on systems is the reliability, it is a very robust file system. In my particular application I have not perceived any difference in speed between FAT32 and NTFS. If there is a difference, the tradeoff to reliability (which is critical) is acceptable IMO. In addition, there is no degradation in performance as the disk space is consumed. Highly recommended over FAT32. digit-life.com windows-help.net arstechnica.com Regards, Nick
