Ray said: > If firewall blocks all packets, no, how could it? The catch is that if you have a firewall, you presumably want sone packets getting through. If not, there would be no need to have an internet connection at all. Remember that most firewalls are more interested in blocking incomming traffic rather than outgoing. Some of the smarter firewalls can be configured to stop or allow almost whatever you want. The simpler ones are less flexable. ----------------------- Jim Walls - K6CCC k6ccc@xxxxxxxxx Mobile Radio Operations Southern California Edison Co.
