From a telnet prompt type ver, this is what you will see. Software version v3.7.0 built Wed May 3 18:36:45 PDT 2000 Maximum users: unlimited Options: IP ROUTING, IP FILTERING, WEB, ~L2TP, ~ENCRYPT, BRIDGE, IPX I left out some of the stuff above it. Any of the line in options that have a ~ in front of them are not enabled. Now if you have a software versions 308 or later the firewall should be enabled. You can use the firewall to block Natster if you know the ports. Or you can block the IP as well. Heres the link to the frimware updates if you need them. http://support.efficient.com/drivers/flowpoint/index.html This link is to the documents that help with the firewall. http://support.efficient.com/KB/IP_Filtering/Concepts.htm and http://support.efficient.com/KB/IP_Filtering/Tutorial.htm and http://support.efficient.com/KB/IP_Filtering/Sample.htm. When the installer leaves he most often leaves the CD, but if he did not then. use this link http://support.efficient.com/drivers/support/download/firewall/FP_dsl.392.zip If by chance you do not have private IP's on your work stations, you can turn Nat on and that should help with some secruity.
