hi, i'm a simple man, i can't affort anything faster than 56k :>
I'm running XP, with Forton Firewall; the problem i occured that packets can be sent
to me with +++ATHO, which will nicelly disconnect me. Uner linux i found that that
command can be disabled via querying the modem. Some of the ICMP senders will do it to
135 port; disabling the whole protocol won't do it. We tried it.
I don't think that the firewall is actually catching the packets, before they reach
modem :> ,so i'm trapped, trying different software won't help, eg BlackIce didn't
help. My mate tried from freeBSD, by going on higher port (cant remember) and
disconnecting me, but ip ban solved that.
Q. is there an answer to that? i can't setup a hardware firewall, and i need windows
to run more often than linux (for the time being.)
Can someone send a link for more info on ICMP?
Thanks, and sorry for my poor english.
