Hello Mike,
May I quote your post?
"I have no knowledge of how you connect to the internet but if using ADSL
or cable the very first thing I would do would be to use a router even if
only using a single PC. Enable NAT (Network Address Translation) on the
router and this will provide a very effective firewall, so good in fact
that this no longer becomes a major issue with the OS however if you want
both belt and braces suitable firewalls commonly used that work reasonably
well with Win Me are early versions of Kerio, formerly Tiny, (v2.1.5 works
well with Win Me)
and Zone Alarm (versions up to and including 6.1.744.001)"
From the setup forum in answer to Tony1966. It is still the last post "Yea
Thanks Microsoft" on the 03/07/2007 @1123AM
Thanks, Mike.
Ben.

| Ben,
|
| Out of curiosity what configuration error did I mention in a previous post
| that you picked up on? It's not as if I often post about networking and
| the like having as I do enough odd networking problems of my own although,
| admittedly not with Win Me nor with my router.

| Cheers,
