SOHO, behind a 2-bit firewall device. I used to have a IPCop box, but it 
croaked a while back. I have a fair amount of firewalling active on this 
box, derived from the stock ipfw file, w/ a few mods for NFS, & that's 
it. I am seeing nothing on other boxen on my LAN, FWIW .... Suggested 
course of action ?
