487159 2006-09-25 07:44:00 If you get a decent browser then you can change your user agent header. If you are also behind a hardware firewall or NAT router it shouldn't be possible to gain any extra information remotely unless you use another program which provides it.

In Firefox type about:config in the URL entry and enter "useragent" in the search field on the screen it provides. This will let you change your complete user agent string, including all OS details.
