i don't know that downgrading would help him.  he's running x86.  i run ipfilter
as well (on sparc of course) and have zero problems.  and i'm running 8.  so
you are trying to compare apples to oranges here.  of course x86 hardware is
flakier than sparc hardware, so that could be his problem (don't say anything,
i know i'm a sun-bigot/anti-wintel guy)

as far as SunScreen, i don't think there is an x86 version of that although i
could be wrong.
