I am learning every day (although I am a retired fellow). I will definitely
follow your lesson on cross-post using Outlook Express. Thank you.

Where did Steve Winograd post? I don't see it. Never mind, you
multiposted.

With Outlook Express, which you're using...

To send your message to multiple newsgroups on the same news server, in the
New Message dialog box, click the icon next to Newsgroups. In the Pick
Newsgroups dialog box, click one or more newsgroups from the list (hold down
the CTRL key to select multiple newsgroups), and then click Add. You can
choose from all newsgroups or only those you subscribe to by clicking Show
only subscribed newsgroups.

You can send a given message to more than one newsgroup at a time only if
all the newsgroups are on the same news server. To post a message to
newsgroups on other news servers, create a separate message for each news
server.

Thanks to Wesley Vogel, DL, Chuck, Bruce Chambers,
Steve Winograd & Pop'.

As you can see I am learning quite a bit for the use of Firewall.
For an average user of Internet, there are so many basic things
to learn, but I have not found any particular news group that
teaches these common basic rules of survival. Internet has been
active since last fifteen years (may be twenty five years), but to
an average user technology is not so simple. I hope to see a
news group of 'internet.basic.rules' for the average user to
view and quickly learn the process. Pop' caught me on the
multiposting and told me to cross-post. Now I have to learn
how to cross-post.

I am sure I will ask some more questions in future.
Thanks again for the comments and help.

Thank you for the reply. You gave me enough to read.
I may have some questions about the built in firewall in XP,
which is a one way firewall, where as the commercial
versions, such as Zone Alarm or Sygate both has in
and out controls. Is it worth to have a firewall with both
in/out controls?

Possible problems with connections. You may or may not have problems.
But, they are not going to work in concert with each other. Chances
are they will fight each other.

Don't run more than one AntiVirus either.

Running multiple software firewalls is unnecessary for typical home
computers. Using two firewalls on the same connection could cause issues
with connectivity to the Internet or other unexpected behavior. One
firewall, whether it's the Windows Firewall or a different software
firewall, can provide substantial protection for your computer.

Q. Should I use both Internet Connection Firewall and a software
firewall from a different company on my Windows XP computer?

A. No. Running multiple software firewalls is unnecessary for typical
home computers, home networking, and small business networking
scenarios.
Using two firewalls on the same connection could cause issues with
connectivity to the Internet or other unexpected behavior. One firewall,
whether it is the Windows XP Internet Connection Firewall or different
software firewall, can provide substantial protection for your computer.

What is the reason for not to use multiple firewalls for a user PC or a
gateway PC ? Appreciate comments.
