Guys,

<br>

Glad you got the ADSL working! What did you need to do?<br>
<br>
What mail client do you plan on using? I use Mozilla Thunderbird. What
did you have in mind? Is it installed already?<br>
<br>
In the meantime, you can use Webmail by logging into Concept's web page
(<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.conceptual.net.au">www.conceptual.net.au</a>), but clearly you have email working to some
extent because you managed to send this message!!<br>
<br>
What point are you up to? What are you stuck with? As always, details
REALLY help us solve problems.<br>

According to the settings you sent us, your Netcomm router has a
firewall, but it is turned off:<br>

Go to a web browser on a machine connected to the same network as the
router (i.e. the machine you are on now?), type in the location
192.168.1.1 to load the configuration page (assuming you have not
changed the default IP address) and enable the Firewall settings
without changes anything else and making sure you save them using 'save
and reboot' or similar.<br>
<br>
If you are using Windows XP you should have the Firewall on by
default. If you wish to configure a software firewall for a Linux
based PC, then some of the list members might have some suggestions.<br>
<br>
Debian Sarge wasn't it? To the PLUG List Members => What would we
recommend (if anything) besides relying on the hardware firewall at the
router, guys?<br>
