Replaced the rather buggy firewall with a better one, updated its firmware and enabled Quality of Service (QoS) control. Web server access should now be faster and finally, remote JBoss and remote SMTP authentication using SASL work :)
In other news, last night was pretty short as I tried to fix my network printer[1] which ceased working (and still doesn’t work). I don’t expect this night to be much longer. Once I read that people who sleep less live longer (contrary to intuition). Good prospects, I suppose ;)
[BTW indicated times on this blog seem to be wrong (it’s 02:13 local time ATM). Need to check it ASAP.]
