Larry,
I have both Server and Workstation services set to automatic. I just
checked File Sharing, Common Ports and All Service Ports @
http://www.grc.com/x/ne.dll?rh1dkyd2. Stealth on everything!
Take Gibson's tests, see how ya do. Set your firewall settings accordingly.
The only way to be totally safe is to pull the plug on your modem. ;-)
