This hadn't occurred to me before, but my 13-year-old told me he was playing X-Box live with a bunch of non-english speaking people. Is it possible to hack a computer via the game connection? My modem runs to a router which connects to the computer and the game. I run two firewalls, the Microsoft version and Zonelabs. Thanks for any (constructive) input. Eddie |

While possibe, it's not very probable. People who want to do harm will take the easiest path, and right now that is windows users. There are many exploits in windows and internet explorer, especially if unpatched. I wouldn't worry about someone coming in through your console although, if someone wants into your system, they'll get in |
