That's cool as long as you can trust everyone in your house, which your comments lead me to believe might not be the case. Don't trust a switch to protect your network segment. Methods to sniff and interfere with traffic on a switch, while not quite as easy as doing the same on a hub, are commonly used. > I want to use Linux or W2k. I don't know yet.

Some kind of port filtering and/or ip-based access control would be a good idea, though. -- Mike Ossmann, Tarantella/UNIX Engineer/Instructor Alternative Technology, Inc. http://www.alttech.com/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the line: 'unsubscribe vnc-list' in the message BODY See also: http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/intouch.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------
