It's more a privacy issue that security for me. I have a similar setup |
| 8 |
with a virgin cable router, which I set to what they call modem mode, |
| 9 |
where only one of the ports works and connects to my router. The one time |
| 10 |
I ran tech support they were able to see that I was using it this way and |
| 11 |
even reset the modem for me. I suppose it makes life easier for them and |
| 12 |
their typical customers, but it was a little unnerving. |

One of the nice things about standards is that there are so many of them. |
