[QUOTE="RJB1953, post: 1326589, member: 222900"] Thanks guys! Listening to experience is the best way to learn. FYI I found a reference to a test site on this forum, GRC.com, went there and ran the Shields Up utility. I ran it with both the Mac firewall on and off with no difference in the results. My router firewall was enabled and curiously the only thing that failed was the ping test. My router is set to ignore pings - something to investigate! So next question is GRC a reliable indicator of protection? Do you know of a better test site? Hope you forgive the obsession with security but like many others I have been burned in the windows environment. Have I said I LOVE MY MACBOOK PRO yet today? :) [/QUOTE]
