you could opload it to a Dropbox ?, what is the total file space used ?, if you need harddisk space i have 5.7TB free harddisk space on my zyxel nas still

you might use that mac in your new router

correct, ipv6 was not stable in xp, it was more or less alpha stage of testing

yea right, you get what you are asking for then
note that there is a GUI for shorewall but its not supported, developpers would just ask you to send them "shorewall dump" and "shorewall6 dump" in a zip file
then you get competent help back, free of charge btw
try calling microsoft and ask about help with xp now, here in danmark you will have to pay 400 kr plus moms, for the first hour, and thay do not garenti it would be fixed or resolved in that hour
