When I get cable modem soon, I will want to be concerned a little more, no doubt, than with just my DUN. That will be a new & interesting project, a home firewall :)

Try using the Microsoft Family Client on your machine at home as your Primary Network Logon in the Network property sheet's Configuration page.
