Hi,
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I just installed this product and, as
advertised, it was quick and painless. A quick check at www.grc.com
showed complete stealth except for pings and that was easy to fix via
Firestarter, I am now completely stealthed - see for yourselves, my IP
is 205.206.105.118

Thanks again,
Myles
