[LUAU] IP address on Cable

[Jon Reynolds]

Use the firewall that comes with windows and use a cheap router to nat  only  
those ports that need to be exposed. Use firefox with noscript and download  
a couple of malware cleaners and run them both to clean up the box. Update  
his norton and his system and any other app.

Hope that helps,

Jon

Subject: [LUAU] IP address on Cable

Aloha,

Does anyone on the list have experience with a firewall on an Oceanic 
cable feed? Linux or Freebsd is what I use,.but I only have experience 
with firewalls on Telcom lines.

I am trying to help a guy with a Windows 7 box.  He has netflix on this 
cable too so it may have a fixed IP.

He gets attacked a lot with viruses and other weirdness even with Norton 
on the box.

Any suggestions appreciated.
