What would these pcs stop from misusing the vpn       connected pc to send stuff out through your vpn (remember: viruses need       not use the IP protocol but could use netbios rpc as well)?                     --       Martin Bodenstedt              (www.die-bodenstedts.de / www.maboko.de)              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
