Should this topic already have been discussed on FD, my apologies. IMHO, crippling the TCP/IP stack instead of Fixing a flawed OS is not the way to do things. According the Fyodor, author of Nmap, MS did not even implement it properly, as Nmap v3.55-SP2 has been provided for a workaround. MS also throttled TCP connections which affects P2P networks. Now that companies are embracing P2P for their own internal networks, this is another reason not to upgrade to SP2. I guess I will have to leave my laptop dual boot for the time being... _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
