Re: One ISP I know...
one of the tech guys there said he can't wait for IPv6 so that firewalls will be obsolete and we can throw them out... I kid you not. "There's a sucker born every minute"
Well, don't we all hope for miracles ? IT is such a broad subject that you cannot master everything, agreed, TCP/IP is pretty basic stuff, but still ... he probably heard that with IPv6 you no longer needed NAT and this guy confused NAT and firewall, certainly not his area of expertise. I have heard worse and have probably made equally lame remarks ... we all make mistakes ... as long as the guy admits he's wrong he can learn from his mistake, and that is EXACTLY how we learn best ... shame is an incredibly efficient learning-aid ;-)
