Norton Personal Firewall 2004 problem
1) It pays to look at the firewall logs--I have my firewall set to log dropped connections, and it was showing a bunch of dropped connections to 1723 as I was testing. 2) It is useful to be able to stop/restart the firewall service while testing. I have an ICFrestart.cmd file on my desktop which consists of: net

I'm clear with the way to set up the firewall to allow or drop packets based on rules. For now, I'm just allowing everything (until I get things working: then I can start restricting). I'm unclear on three points: Does the IPFIREWALL option itself do the packet forwarding as well, or does the firewall just do the

2) rc.firewall is being taken seriously as an effective firewall: As a learning aid, rc.firewall isn't bad, but it's letting things in by default that it really shouldn't. I know people want to be able to turn on a service and have it go, and that's why at present rc.firewall lets in port 25, 53, 80, 123,

Does any router work as a hardware firewall? If not, what router label do I look for to ensure the router I get will act as a firewall. Seems I've heard of NAT routers.
