Security on a NT box? You should be kidding. Once more:
NT IS NOT MATURE ENOUGH. DOT.

If you want a cheap entry level firewall, pick sf1 or fwtk and your favouri=

free OS.

Sure i _know_ what to do to build entry level firewall ;) And i _know_ that
NT security is oxymoron. The problem is not here.

I have to _explain_ that to Windoze weenies who say "i have a machine with
Wingate and no dangerous services like Netbios or IIS running. Why should i 
think that my network is not secured properly? Denial of service? I don't care,
my network is small, i'll just reboot the thing"

So does anybody know anything about _known_ Wingate security problems?
