Subject: Cox is blocking port 135 - off topic

MS realise that they are about to be firewalled by every ISP that cares
about its client base, and are now stating that you shouldn't have been
using their product on a public network in the first place.  I don't
remember hearing this before, though, and if they knew this why isn't ICF
enabled as default as part of their internet connection wizardry?

Hindsight is always 20/20.
