Hi Paul, I do use a hardware firewall, the one built into my router. I also run a software router, however neither are as good as the firewall built into the proxy server I used to use when connected by ISDN. I never had any problems though using a public IP with Eircom.
Now I wonder if I'm protected at all, so perhaps you could advise me on how to test my forewall to see if one can get through. I have run Leaktest and that can't get out.
Jonathan.
