Hi, I've seen most people allow all outgoing traffic originating from the firewall itself... Is this really recommended?? What if the machine have been compromised and the intruder have installed a program that let's him access the machine remotely by having the program itself to initiate the outgoing connection to him thus defying the incoming connection firewall ruleset... Thanks.. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com
