Steven,

Thanks for asking. No, I haven't gotten around to it yet. I've been busy trying to restore
my system from TCPIP 4.0 to TCPIP 4.1 (just the stack, not the apps) and in the process
I temporarily disabled the Injoy firewall (I still have the Netgear router firewall). The Injoy
Firewall is where I will block port 137. In fact, in the Injoy documentation it discusses the
need to sometimes block this port and eliminate NETBIOS clogging traffic.

Several weeks ago I discovered that my MPTS program did not work properly. When I
attempted to open the program, it told me that it could not open, because the system
had not processed some locked files. This problem had to stem from my upgrading
from TCPIP 4.0 to 4.1. Therefore:

1. I restored my system back to that backup I made just before I
originally upgraded to 4.1.

2. Now, I'm in the process restoring everything else, but TCPIP, back to
the conditions I had before I back restored to TCPIP 4.0

3. After that's done, I begin the process of reinstalling TCPIP to version
4.1

I want to go slowly in case there are any problems. If there are, I can easily restore to
the most recent backup before the problems. I'm making backups almost every step of
the way, so that I don't loose much time, if I have to restore backwards. But I have to test
everything related to TCPIP and networking to make sure that they work before
proceeding.
