You are using a toy language to work on production networks??? Charles,
you have _major_ delusions of adequacy.

in 1999. With course materials from microsoft that were three to five
years out of date - from a company whose networking concepts are being
taxed to deal with 250 hosts, because they never envisioned them being
used in a production setting.

   Well, another good idea is to turn off native Windows ICS, and have
that NAT done by a third-pary program, such as AllegroSurf. I find the
server is far less prone to crashing, and is also more secure and not
vulnerabe to O/S exploits like Windows ICS is.

So, you "were taught that Bill Gates is GOD", yet he can't seem to create
software that isn't prone to crashing, lacks security, and is vulnerabe
to attack code written by ten year olds. Make up your mind.

Is that supposed to be the excuse you need to explain why you are using
toys?
