As an important side issue to your actual question, please make sure
that you upgrade it ASAP. You may (or may not) have read about the DNS
exploits that are being talked about right now, but essentially it allows
attackers to poison one's DNS cache so that names map to the wrong IP
addresses. (Can you say bank website spoofing?)
