Sorry, I sent you a ton of IM's but the bounced back sorry was not ignoring 
you. Something is flacky here at work since we went from Small Biz Server 2003 
to 2003 SP1. We also went from ISA 2000 to ISA 2004 SP2 (Corporate Firewall 
Product).

Thank you,

      Hehe...I think I will stick with this group and stay away from the Best 
Buy Geeks! They want $261.00 to "clean" my pc up! I could replace it for 
that!(Minus the flat screen and peripherals)
      I have the windows live one care firewall,so I'll let it do its job.
      Got bigger probs now!!! I'll start another thread for them,lol,and 
hopefully Eric won't regret inviting me here!<grin>I may just drive ya'll nuts!
      Thank's to you all...this lil housewife is finding the pc world very 
intimidating and pulling hairs with it lately.
      Suzy

        Geek Squad - what a joke that organization of misfits is - most "techs" 
are newly graduated high school kids with no experience other than their own 
at-home goofing around on the internet. They are based out of Best Buy stores 
which gets them business but the only one the "gets the business" is the paying 
customer. I've been doing this kind of work since the early 80's and yet my 
rates are lower than theirs yet their "techs" get paid roughly 1.5 to 2 times 
minimum wage if they are lucky or are in an area with high cost of living.

        The Geek Squad City depot they just built in Hillview, KY is even a 
bigger joke.

        If a firewall is your concern you should use a software based one if on 
dialup and a standalone machine. Most hardware products are made for 
networking.

          I went to 7 stores and then asked the "Geek Squad" at best Buy(before 
I got this reply) and they all said the same...
