All true. I was just answering the question about how to turn TCP/IP off. I actually don't use this method myself, I just know it works.

And it doesnt help at ALL during the time that you ARE connected to the internet. The best solution will always be a firewall running on a router/gateway thats external from the machine that you're trying to protect. +--- | This is the Midrange System Mailing List! | To submit a new message, send your mail to MIDRANGE-L@midrange.com. | To subscribe to this list send email to MIDRANGE-L-SUB@midrange.com. | To unsubscribe from this list send email to MIDRANGE-L-UNSUB@midrange.com. | Questions should be directed to the list owner/operator: david@midrange.com +---
