there are a number of free firewalls out there, I used to swear by tiny's personal firewall, it seems many people like ZonAlarm but I've had much better success and flexability with Sygate's personal firewall... if you upgrade (only 29.99 IIRC) they give you a whole arsenal worth of tools but they are not really needed in the sense that you can do block and allow anything you want. -Francisco http://rcm.netfirms.com ----- Original Message ----- From: <Mwp.Reid at Queens-Belfast.AC.UK> To: <accessd at databaseadvisors.com> Sent: Sunday, January 26, 2003 10:41 AM Subject: [AccessD] SQL WOrm : Just for info : : You cannot AFAIK patch the evual of SQL Server 2000.
