John, In one of the replies in this thread you mention having a spare PC that mostly sits unused in a box. Have you considered setting it up as a firewall appliance for your network? I have no idea how complex your home network is, but a firewall appliance is both easy to set up and puts no strain on your main computer's resources. There are several very good Linux based software firewalls that are free, easy to set up and configure, and that are bulletproof. I would recommend to your attention these two in particular: ClearOS: http://www.clearfoundation.com/Software/overview.html pfSense: http://www.pfsense.org/ Both are very user friendly and very flexible. You can read a bit more about both (and some other options) here: http://www.techradar.com/news/ software/applications/7-of-the-best-linux-firewalls-697177 A firewall appliance may be far more than you are looking for. I thought I'd throw my two cents' worth your way as i have found them to be ideal solutions for those running small home networks who do not want, or cannot afford to have firewall software eating up CPU cycles on machines already taxed by some of the more cumbersome parts of Windows. Good luck in your search. -- If you try, you can envision peas on earth.

Peanuts, not monkey nuts. Sorry, hummingbird, but I doubt a right wing lickspittle like you can add value processing monkey nuts, what with your grubby little paws, and all. -- zakAT(a)pooh.the.cat - Sergeant Tech-Com, DN38416.
