Hi John,

I am just worried that while I have a firewall in place, perhaps that
is not good enough, especially as soon we will have a ADSL connection
with fixed IP whereas now it is dialup using dynamic DNS. I know some
fairly knowledgeable bad guys are trying to hack me.

The link you provided does suggest a firewall but there is no mention
of DMZ - I think I will leave it alone.

Regards,

Peter
