Yeah, I see on my computer at my apartment, that 2k4 is still being
played.  And I see how it responds when there's a firewall problem.  I
couldn't get a refresh, for some reason though.  Could have been this
crappy firewall, though.  I'm still pissed that ZoneAlarm got bought
up and is only a commercial product now.  Although, it didn't work
with my parents' dsl for some reason.

Anyway, thanks for answering.
