Re: Where does ICF store it`s ACL ?

["Paul Kurczaba" <paul () myipis com>]

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.
