This is the same problem that happened to me on my Microsoft MN-500 wireless router. It was opening up ports left and right. I had to manually delete the ACL daily. I finally got sick of doing so, and decided to purchace a Netgear wireless router. Back to ICF... I really don't know where the ICF ACL is stored. If I were you, I would disable ICF, and install ZoneLabs' ZoneAlarm. It has more features than ICF, as has a better security history than Microsoft products. If you don't want to go with ZoneAlarm, my second choice would be Kerio Personal Firewall.

Hi list , I wonder where does microsoft ICF ( Intecnet Connection Firewall) store it`s ACL ? I tried searching system files or registry , but nothing revealed by my simple search. why I`m asking this? some MS prgrams like Windows-Messenger automaticaly add items to this list to garant their access. on a firewalled network , messenger try many ports to find one working , and this magically cause a local DoS , when you try to open ICF configuration and add/remove firewall rules... now , my ICF is flooded with messenger`s added rules... anyway to flush the rules ? regards __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
