Forgive me for misunderstanding you. No... I was saying that if you've got a firewall and you _don't_ need to share files across the Internet, there's still no reason to bind file sharing to the Internet. I thought that the "unless you _need_ to bind it to the adapter" bit was too obvious to be worth saying: "If you need to share files across the Internet, don't bind file sharing to the Internet" sounds a bit silly... Obviously I was wrong... *grin* So... if you don't need to share files across the Internet, you should not bind file sharing to the Internet *AND* you should use a firewall. Although you probably only _need_ to do one of these, there's no reason _not_ to do both, is there? -- Stuart Brady
