DSL is now up and working with the Actiontec as my gateway. Machines have standard fixed IP's of 192.168.0.X. Gateway is 192.168.0.1 of course. I presume I now have no firewalls in place. Can someone give me some quick hints for software solutions? I thought the Actiontec had some kind of firewall and I will search that out right now. TIA, Paul Scott
