Mark, Since you are running 3 firewalls, maybe you could answer a question or two for me. I've been running Norton Personal Firewall for a few days now, and it seems like it has really slowed down my system. I was surprised at the amount of items that wanted to pass both ways, and I have not allowed anything to come in or out. Now I'm wondering if I should be allowing a little freer access at the border in order to speed things up. In particular, several times a day I get "Outbound TCP Connection, "tgcmd Module" blocked. What is this? and should I let it through? I am also getting several: Unused port blocking has blocked communications. Details: Inbound TCP connection" Finally, I've had a couple of these: "Default Block Backdoor/SubSeven Trojan" blocked Details: Inbound TCP connection" Should I allow any of these through, and what's the deal with the SubSeven Trojan message. It scared the bejesus out of me. Thanks for your input. Quahog
