The outbound controll will probably be as crappy as the inbound ,, Try this - disconnect the router and hook directly up to the Internet. Now activate the firewall and go to www.grc.com and do the sheilds-up test. You will se just how useless the thing is .. I saw somwhere That M$ is partnering with Zone Labs to enhance the firewall within xp, how true this is I don't know, and how good it will be ?? we will have to wait and see ..
