No Chris, I didn't give details (& won't) but I mean very literally our system is unaccessible. Seeing there's just two users on it & we've not decided whether to set it up for FTP yet, it's really, truly inaccessible. I did post enough info to get into our system if it weren't for all the extra fire-wall protection. We don't have a back door on our system. Thanks for your concern. I don't mean to sound like the Titanic with it can't sink motto. There was a lot of work put into our security & fire-walls.
We're not using our pc as a server, just had it ready as a back-up for when the work places were switched around. It's back to just being our own computer again. We've looked over the entries on how often people try to tap into our computer - there may often be 10-20 attempts an hour. Soon people really have too much time on their hands & nothing useful to do.
