Re: Who is pqwest1.qwest.motive.com? Logging onto my router!

dumb modem >> dedicated router/fw = win

I've had my ancient yet extremely capable USR 9002 and a IPcop box..a pII w/ 96 ram btw....and a $5 switch...for years now and I sleep well.

Get out of consumer networking, and suddenly life is better.

syslog??? why?

Perhaps ya need fail2ban... »fail2ban.sourceforge.net/

Maybe some people do not want to have to go that route.
Maybe some people do not have a spare PC sitting around doing nothing
Maybe the Dumb modem is better for you then a dedicated router/fw because you are more knowledgeable in computing then the average computer user.

Thats great if you can and have the ability to do what you suggest. But maybe just maybe the solution of a dedicated Router if for the average joe that doesn't have the knowledge or the inclination to actually do what you are suggesting. Is the best for them.

So instead of the this is better then that or that is better then this how about we all just start saying "it doesn't fit my needs and I prefer to go a different route" (pun intended)
