these are my options, I've been running in "silent running" mode for the longest time with no problems I know of.... is that the best one?


ClearSailing Removes the traffic restrictions imposed by SilentRunning and LANdlocked. Protection against unwanted inbound traffic is controlled by NAT settings.

SilentRunning Using this level of firewall protection allows secure transmission of outbound traffic, but disables any attempt for inbound traffic to identify the Gateway. This is the Internet equivalent of having an unlisted number.

LANdlocked This option turns off all inbound and outbound traffic, isolating the LAN and disabling all WAN traffic.

oh yeah, it's a netopia router/modem/firewall so it's a hardware firewall

Seems to me this is one of those; "If it ain't broke..." situations.
