Um, you shoot yourself in the foot - if a simple NAT router, with a
limited amount of code, has "troubles" then a complex amount of code like
the Windows XP SP2 firewall would be subject to "troubles" too.

He? The NAT router runs a packet filter, NAT, and much more in a
package. The XP SP2 is only a packet filter. No NAT. No flaky "access
restrictions". No port forwarding.

If my computer, running the OS and apps was limited to XP SP2 Firewall you
might have a point, but, you can't run the XP SP2 firewall without XP.

The NAT router does not run a zillion line OS, does not run zillions of
lines of code in applications....

Try again champ.
