Or you can make life easier (and probably safer) and buy yourself one of these. Like was previously mentioned for less then $100 you get a firewall, and a 4 port hub.

If you want to be able to get in, you can open the ports desired. ======= Kirk Wood Cpt.Kirk at 1tree.net "When I take action, I'm not going to fire a $2 million missle at a $10 empty tent and hit a camel in the butt.
