Off topic, Internet security!
While I was on the topic of networking and security, my wife e-mailed me a link that told me everything about my IP and internet settings etc. Here's the E-mail from her..
"What is your browser telling people?
One of the first things you need to determine is if your browser is
giving out your e-mail address. Most modern and updated browsers do not
do this, but there is an easy way to check. Head over to
http://helie.com/BrowserCheck/ and it will quickly tell you if your
browser passes or fails.
Next it's time to see the type and extent of information your browser is
giving out. There are several sites where you can test this. We will
look at two of these.
The first is http://privacy.net/analyze/ Here you will get a basic run
down of your browser and your Internet connection. If you have Java and
Java Script enabled, you will be amazed at what you will find.
The next site is http://www.gemal.dk/browserspy/ and here you will simply be astounded at the data that your web browser is making
available. You will need to have Java and Java Script enabled in order
to run these tests. Once you are done, you will see why you have good
reason to worry!
Head over to http://grc.com/su-bondage.htm and follow his advice on how to make your Windows 9x or NT system shut some of the open holes it has
running. The steps are well written and are easy to follow and do not affect your ability to surf the Net one bit."
Chris, this info is kinda what your looking for isn't it

Elie
