| yes I use a router, and I'm not sure about firestarters security,people seem to think guarddog is better, I'm using windows also and have a port forwarded for utorrent, is it possible to use the same port in my router for a torrent client in Kanotix? |

Does you router have a built-in firewall ? If so, you really don't need guarddog, firestarter, etc... (my opinion, others will vary and will post) not saying it will hurt to use it, kinda like windows with a hardware (router) and software (sygate,zone alarm) firewall together
Anywho, utorrent uses port range 32459 for start and end with both UDP and TCP. I don't see why you couldn't use the same settings in Kanotix as windows regarding the ports.
Guarddog has a manual but I cannot access any of there site's, could be down or having other problems or could be my end ( )

I have no experience with guarddog period, I have used firestarter before just to check it out. |

| How can I test if my firewall on my router is safe? also I was just kind of wondering if Kanotix is unsafe like windows, where if you can access to the internet connection you have access to the computer and all the files? |

You can test at ShieldsUP
Linux is not windows and is more secure, but is not perfect, the only safe computer is one NOT connected to the internet, but I don't think you will have any problems with Kanotix like you do with windows |
