i recently installed zone alarm, and it's constantly detecting intrusions, particularly via port 6881.
6881 is used for azureus (bit torrent), but people are still trying to access my comp through that port even though azureus isn't even running!
using a wireless router.
my, and all this time i've been using a router w/o firewall. but are these intrusions really dangerous? i mean, nothing tragic has happened to me while my comp didn't have firewall armor.
and what precisely does "high-rated" mean in the context of instrusions?

Summary: You will also want to put a PCI network card in the P3. I'm not sure if your references to a USB 2 card were just to have USB 2 available to the system, or if you plan on using an USB based network in...
