jeff, you know that you can let certain ports through to your computer with firewalls, right? that still protects your dad's stuff, but lets you have your fun. on most firewalls, it's super easy to do, as logn as you're inside the network and have the password.

Yes, I know. As does my dad. He however has the idea that IRC has security holes. And all UDP traffic is unneccissay and insecure.
And even if he only lets my ip have IRC or other ports, then that compromises the entire network. He is overly paraniod.
IE has far more holes then IRC, yet it is ok because he needs to use it.



Oh well.
