Just a reminder to anybody new to port checking. If you are behind a hardware firewall, and as is likely, haven't set up a DMZ that effectively removes the protection of NAT, then be aware that 'Shields Up' is reacting to the response or lack of it from the hardware firewall ports and not your local machine... I know it's obvious, but it's a detail that seems to bypass the occasional user.

In my experience beta-testers normally do it for the interest/satisfaction, testing that is. It's normal to receive some perk that's directly related to the software that's being tested - but even that is rarely stated as an expectation of reward. Also in my experience, beta-testing of good or interesting software is rarely under subscribed. Which is why I'm unsure as to why there's a need in a community like this to make exceptional efforts.

[quote] Actually, everyone's input is valued and particularly that of the 'newbie' in a subject/thread such as this one....[/quote] I'm a tad unsure as to what this thread has become about.

FYI - the above post (#104) is an example of loss of formatting resulting from editing. I tried and confirmed that I can introduce line breaks successfully by hand editing, though there is a sizeable delay in the result showing.

Re: Editing error - appears to have naffed up my formatting - esp. line breaks.
