In the firewall world, this is called a feature, not a bug. The reason is
this: if you firewall dies or is killed (DoS or programming defect, etc),
you want it to still protect your resources, so some firewalls block ALL
traffic if they are not actively running. One firewall for instance I can
speak of authoritatively is Axent Raptor, and it binds to the network card
at a low enough level so that the NIC will not pass traffic without the
firewall running.

Subject: Re: vnc in w2000 behind router and zonealarm
<SNIP>
it turns out that it *seems* like the ZA settings are *sticky* - meaning
that once u turn it off, some of the settings remain. i discovered this
when i got vnc to work after i changed ZA NOT to load at startup. once
that discovery was made, i changed ZA to allow 'internet connect' and
load at startup and the thing swims....
i don't know if this is a bug, or a feature...i'll sniff around in the
doc and potentially post the question on gibson's board...
