SV: [DGD] Problems with PC/MAC

[David Jackson]

One of the problems with the Windows XP personal firewall is that even when 
you think you have it turned off, it's not really off.  I've yet to find a 
way around it, but it always does some level of packet filtering and 
firewalling, even when you -theoretically- have it off completely.

The best solution is simple.  Install Linux.  I can help you with that.
