Default FMS vs G2

Hey, I'm all for Linksys router/firewalls. I have one because I have several computers throughout my house. Besides it's smaller than the old computer I had doing it.

I was just saying that keeping your computer set as a DMZ host is dangerous. You might not care about someone messing with your system but it can be annoying for others. I can't tell you the number of computer I've had to "take off line" because someone hacked them and was using them to attack one of my web sites. Usually Windows machines on some kind of broadband.

And that is just one aspect of it. Do you buy things online ever? Think it's safe on a hacked computer?

You're doing it the right way though. I just mis-understood what tmproff said. :stupid:

BTW, I'd see you online if I knew if Wine (basically a Windows emulator) would run G2 but...
