[QUOTE="stevo-m, post: 523647, member: 24408"] My router is a Netgear MR814v2tw. It is quite old, so I'm not sure if it would be compatible with newer security measures or whatever. I've wondered about my firewall for a while. I've never had any problems that I'm aware of, but I'm not actually sure how to use it. It's not in the 'sharing' panel of my system preferences, it's in 'security', and there's no 'start' button, it just has three radio buttons: - Allow all incoming connections - Block all incoming connections - Set access for specific services and applications Mine was set to the first option. Should I have it set to something else? [/QUOTE]
