I submit you all this very strange problem: My firewall occasionally stop accepting input and forward packets from my Win PCs. After then I have 2 choises: 1: wait some minutes 2: stop/start "client DNS" service twice to immediately obtain again full access to the net. Can someone give me a hint? - sorry for my poor english Bye all -- ~~~~ Domenico Gargano [Network Administrator] ~~~~ Planetek Italia s.r.l. :tel:+39 080 5343750 Via Massaua, 12 - I-70123 BARI :fax:+39 080 5340280 ~~~ email: gargano@xxxxxxxxxxx ~~~ www.planetek.it ~~~
