Your system and how she uses the machine are two different things. I've
found that almost everyone with a Windows PC with it directly connected to
the Net has something wrong with it - something they let in one way or
another. I don't even count the MS Firewall as a firewall, in fact I
disable it on all corporate clients systems. As for a NAT box, if you or
she values you/her time, $50 for a BEFSR41 router with NAT is worth the
cost.
Where is she getting a 26.5 Meg DSL connection, we're lucky to see them at
1.54mbps here, and cable only goes to 8mbps here.
