Kerio forum? said by redrebel : I'm one of the minority that still uses KPF v2.1.5 (desktop and laptop) and yes when I installed the dreaded KB951748 it knocked out IE and Firefox for me. Looking at my logs it was using highports for DNS resolution. I had it specifically set to only use the range of 1024-5000. Made the change to allow highports (1024-65535) and it works fine (desktop only). Why is changing the local port range going to make DNS more secure? What is the idea behind that?

What is the idea behind that? Try doing a Google or Yahoo! search for DNS spoofing and you will find a lot of answers to your question. Here is a sample link from such a search, I hope some of the results you get will match your technical knowledge level, since I don't know exactly how high or low to shoot. From SANS Internet Storm Center: Multiple Vendors DNS Spoofing Vulnerability -- We can never have enough of nature. We need to witness our own limits transgressed, and some life pasturing freely where we never wander. Test your firewall.
