Quoting Haxe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> from ml.softs.gtk-gnutella.devel:
:this is a "BTW" appendix to my last mail :-)
:I consider it somewhat confusing that there is only one firewall icon in
:the corner. Since TCP and UDP firewalling is completely independent,
:and since each of them has at least three possible states used in
:practice ("completely closed", "Only outgoing/solicited allowed",
:"both outgoing and incoming/unsolicited allowed"), which thus equals to
:at least nine possible combinations, it seems unlikely that we can
:express so much information with only four different icon states.
There are more than 4 states.
For one thing, there is a case that is completely non-interesting for
us, it's the inhability to make any outgoing TCP connections. We don't
express that state. So for TCP, there are only two options: incoming
is firewalled / allowed.
For UDP, there are actually 3 states: firewalled, can receive solicited,
and unfirewalled.
We're able to express all that with the 6 (3*2) icons we have.
