Also - can you tell me more about a DSL switch?
I had the MS firewall turned off when I had outpost, but
figured it was better than nothing, once my outpost was
uninstalled.

Inaccurate.
My recommendation is to run a DSL switch (which is a
"mechanical"
firewall) and also run a software firewall. I currently use
Outpost.
There are many good ones though. I would NOT use the MS
firewall
under any circumstances..........it's not ready for prime
time.
