You guys ever used the tools at this page to check for leaks?

The ShieldsUP! and Leaktest and other like it to be more precise.

Mine failed.  Read some of the  instructions.  Ugh.  I am going to find someone on VT to walk me through how to fix this stupid thing.  I took off the software firewall and use my linksys.
