Well, I did that, and studied other documents as well, and have packet filters running right now. I also did a search of the document you suggested and it doesn't even have the word "close" in it, therefore, it would appear to not address the issue. From your reply, I'm missing something obvious here. But would you point it out anyway?

If that is too confusing, google for a basic tutorial on network security. -- "If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate."
