I'm not 100% sure on this, being a long-time NT-Win2k-XP bigot who hasn't run the Win9x line since '95 was in beta. > BTW, another option that the FBI is offering at the www.nipc.gov Web site is to turn off UPNP altogether: Update: "Universal Plug and Play Vulnerabilities" http://www.nipc.gov/warnings/advisories/2001/01-030-2.htm Which is incorrect information that will leave you vulnerable because it tells you to turn off the WRONG service. NIPC, unfortunately, isn't a very good source of information right now. Vendor bulletins and this list are better (IMHO). David LeBlanc dleblanc@mindspring.com
