The amount of OS related stuff that tries to access the internet in win2k is
amazing... win98 didn't have anything that NEEDS to see the internet to make
it work, but in 2k, I read somewhere that if you deny the wrong thing
access, your internet won't work at all.

I grabbed the free version and have been using it the last couple of days.
Every once in a while a popup appears saying something to the effect of
"Application NTOSkernel has tried to access the network (internet?) and has
been blocked." What's this about? Should I worry? Should I be relieved?
Other than this message, nothing appears broken. I can see the network and
the internet, and everything like IE and Outlook seems to work fine.
