According to a friend who is dealing with a "support services" for the AT&T Broadband switchover. The AT&T support people (probably Stream employees) are telling customers to turn off their firewalls before connecting to the network! She was told that using a firewall on the network was "not supported" and that she had to turn it off or they would not help her. Not so coincidently, I am seeing reports of increased scans of the worm-like type from attbi.com networks. Since AT&T is having a hard time getting their networks up, expect a slow rise in virus attacks over the next few weeks. And since they refuse to assign fixed IPs at AT&T, blocking by IP address is a short term solution. Now you know why they have the Death Star as their corporate logo...
