I would not have even tried if I had known that is where this software is located. I love VMWare Workstation so I was curious about this but it is not easy to follow why I would want this when I can't read anything about IPCop. I did FINALLY get the download page for IPCop to load but no other pages there would load at all and the download page doesn't tell me anything about IPCop. I have cable broadband and no problems loading most sites. I am guessing this acts like a firewall? So, you would have to boot this VMWare machine each time after you boot the host? That is a big drawback to VMWare Workstation. Plus, why would anyone want a firewall if they have a router and classic HIPS? That is why I got a router years ago and then ProcessGuard so I didn't need a software firewall...so is that what this is? I only have one NIC so I couldn't do this anyway. But you have me confused...I have a home network but only one physical NIC....???? -- "The same ferocity that our founders devoted to protect the freedom and independence of the press is now appropriate for our defense of the freedom of the internet.
