Our users use some services over a WAN link to our main office but not the other way. Included in that service is Internet access for browsing. I plan to block directed broadcasts or broadcasts in general from the other side (main office) because some of the hosts there are broadcasting and are reaching us. Is this a common practice for those of you who support WAN links? TIA. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ethical Hacking at the InfoSec Institute.
