Interesting site BabaLouie :) The attached link was invalid so I'll repost it: "www.blkviper.com/WinXP/servicecfg.htm" I have to admit that I do like the G5 series. Just wanted to point out some of the miss concepts regarding .NET frame. I'm not here to promote Windows, however XP Pro is the best release I've ever used; when it comes to stability- and I've been around since the 3.x. A hardware firewall will do the job for anyone seeking total control over their own systems in/out. Good luck with your new toy. Kind regards, Thomas.
