I have a dually 867 (10.2.8) and a cable modem which has run fine for
months.  I just got a wireless linksys router BEFW11S4 ver. 4.  I

more than 80 MB... phony MS security updates.

It seems that the new virus/worm/whatever is still going around is still
sending lots of email to clog email boxes.
The problem I was having is that each night enough email with
attachments is being sent to cause my email space to be overloaded.  I

Lately, I've been receiving mail with no "from" header, no "to" header,
no subject, and no content.
What's the point of a virus or worm sending this?

I have a mixed LAN: Win2K, WinXP and OS X; wireless and wired. No

The OS X client has two name resolution failures.

A few weeks ago I moved one of our fileservers to a different sub net.
Now my OS X user is complaining about disconnects.
The fileserver (A rev A iMac, running Mac OS 9.2.1) was moved to the
DMZ port of our Sonic firewall. Before that it was connected (via a
