Did you end up getting BlackICE defender? If so, what do you think of it? I have settled on either of the following: BlackICE or Conseal's Private Desktop (http://www.signal9.com/products/desktop/index.html). i've since installed a personal firewall. Thanks, Nick

Mark, frankly I was suprised when i visited ftp or telnet ftp 127.0.0.1 or telnet 127.0.0.1 Its like all my files are there! and its totally open! its supposed to be a secret government project.... but who knows... maybe its the midnight gremlins at work. Pre-April Fools: WEll actually 127.0.0.1 is a hardware loopback to your own system. You will always see your own files!

mr.mark, Thanks for the TIP. I printed out instructions, followed the Bindings/Un-Bindings, Check/Un-Checked boxes and Surprise,Suprise, CLOSED all my ports. Even #139. Lan not working but will have to configure #2 'puter tomorrow. I'll try & stay with SyGate, otherwise will connect with supplied program from Win98 SE. Should work if I Bind/Uncheck #2 same as #1. Not sure if MS Connect will work with NSCP 4.7. Steve Gibson says he will continue to probe our Ports and if he figures it out he'll e-mail us (free) the solution. Regards, /jw ps: lots of nice tips from Steve how/to set up LAN. Have you received NICs and started?
