Running Win XP with Norton Internet Security.
Are there any security issues or is there a way to configure the firewall to only allow a connection localy? I am a designer/developer and have this setup for that purpose on a box with a DSL connection. It is not on a network and there should be no reason for it to ever be connected to from any other computer.
I've had firewall warnings pop up before that a remote computer (from China) was trying to access Apache. Needless to say, that got me thinking a little more about the security issues.
Just wondering about the implications of allowing all connections to Apache and MySQL.
Thanks
