   heh, napster via NAT seems to require a touch of voodoo -/

Not even in secure? odd

In any case, it's mostly an observation, i have other customers who seem
to have no problems, tho adsl customers i never see problems, it's just
sort of stuck out at me look ing at logs that i see an awfull lot of
errors from certain ones (who happen to be local which is why i know hoe
their IP translation it setup) but this is also a isp that lets customers
get to the passwoprd prompt on a router that shouldn't even be visible
from that site of the wall ;0

meanwhile back to browsing logs....

(Now i'm getting scans that portsentry can't grab an IP address for...grr)

I really don't want to put it in audp mode, it's gonna make a nuicence out
of itself...
