Hi snowman! What a gem! If it works with Pentium, will it work with Celeron? I bookmarked those sites. Can it work in tandem with my other firewall? I have a lot of questions but I'll check those sites out more thoroughly when I have more time. Thank you, snowman!
Prince you are most welcome......do let us know what you think...at the time I was rushing an un-able to fully read all the FAQs....... snowman
Whew! Took 2 and 1/2 hours to download! I've got it. Now, just have to "decipher" the Manual Instructions and I can get it started. WebAttack did say that this firewall was not for your average at-home user! They weren't kidding. To snowman: Remember the "doberman" I spoke to you about? It looks like NetBoz can do that! It would work on that old system you have, turning it into a firewall. Once I get this thing set up, I'll be able to tell you more.
Prince much looking forward to your opinion of this program.....tryed to DL it three times..(on cable)...it started out at 94 bks.....an in less than 2 minutes dropped to 9 bks.......would have taken near five hours to dl......something must be wrong with their server.....on another dl I did today...near the same time frame...got 50 kbs....... yes I recall our discussion....in fact that influenced the post.......are you going to install this on your main computer or another...then network ? snowman
Hi snowman! You mean for once DSL is faster than cable on a download? That's interesting! To answer your question, I'll be putting it on the main computer if and only if I can get everything setup properly. Some fussy bits to take care of, like BIOS. The instructions assume that I have half a clue, which I don't usually. Wish me luck! I'll need it!
Prince hey...whatcha mean...don't have the knowledge....this is the is the wild wonderful wacky world of wilders where there is never a lack of knowledge........where the members are never "out knowledged" .....
Hi Snowman and Prince_Serendip, I brought you post across the drink to see if anyone else is interested. Be Well Guys...good luck, John http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,4004129~root=security,1~mode=flat Thank you
MyNet John I referred your name to Prince....as possibly someone who can assist him in another computer matter...hope you don't mind.... oh..your posted link does not work...... a good one to you friend
Sliderules? Haven't used one since highschool. Actually, if snowman will forgive me, your link doth work fine. I was exaggerating when I said I was clueless. It just seems that whenever I think I have my "magic box" figured out, I find something even more mysterious. I am always learning! (A lot of it is in solo flights.) So, if you have any hints, tips or advice, it will be much appreciated and honored.
Prince MyNET was the person I referred to you regarding the other matter (wincap).....also which I provided the url. ok I just downloaded this silly looking wanna be a firewall...got the manual to.....now Prince how in heck did you get the KEY.......all I get is a page with the KEY printed on it...........what good is that !!! an I suppose to copy and save that ? my printer is the worse spy I ever came upon an not installed!!!
. Actually, if snowman will forgive me, your link doth work fine. Ahhhhhhh.. But it did not..and without his help I would not have gone in there and edited ;-) so it now seems I am all fixed up.
