    According to the German site PCWelt, there's a major and easily exploitable security hole in SP2... can't say I'm surprised. By the way, this is in addition to the others that have already been publicized recently.
    One more reason to get a good router... ...or, convert to Linux (or both!) :D

    Yeah, well, you can see right through XP's firewall using SYN (partial-connect) or FIN (stealth) scans even when it is working right, so...
