I wont be hooking up at home again for a while...

its not you.. its me...


actually.. its not really me either.. its waiting for my DSL to be hooked up :D

Finally, I am getting broadband at home.. finally!!! 512 down, 128 up, 10 Gig limit per month, (yes, every single friggin home account is limited down here) and its costing me about $110AU a month.

W0000t!

Im still posting from the office, but we are pretty busy lately ;)

Welcome to broadband EC. I've got the same 512/128/10G setup here for $49.00 per month (cable modem). Keep posting from work and updating us on the DSL status! :D

Yeah.. after converting, that sounds about the same. (cost wize..)

What sort of firewalling are you using?.. Im setting up an e-smith linux box (very, very easy) until I get more adept at setting up a Debian box properly, or I can convince my buddy to make me one.. *grin*

I've got all 4 of our PC's hooked up through my D-Link Router. So I'm using the built in hardware firewall. According to Shields Up all is excellent, no leaks all ports stealth. In Arizona I only had one PC connected on broadband and used Zone Alarm (freebie) and never had any problems. :)

I have been burned before with "worms" so I use "zonealarm" along with norton AV and my linksys router switch(hardware firewall),better safe then sorry. :)

Agreed, hence the job of connection security is being handed over to an OS that actually can provide it.. :D :D :p :p
