Re: Firewall Testing

["Lyndon Barry" <lyndon () d-a-p net>]

Thanks for all the helpful information I've had on this.  I've tried pretty 
much everything that's been suggested, but so far, it's not making the 
problem appear.

That being said, it's added tools to my testing arsenal, which I do 
appreciate.

Thanks again all

Lyndon
