| 85955 | 2002-10-04 03:46:00 | just wondering how many people actually take the time and trouble to make the rules for their firewall (exspecially tiny/kerio users) or do you just hit the default allow settings? | tweak'e (174) | ||
| 85956 | 2002-10-04 03:54:00 | Firewall... What Firewall???? | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 85957 | 2002-10-04 03:56:00 | Actually, At work the LAN has a firewall... and at home, It slows down the PC too much.. What with WinAmp3, several browser windows, several MSN windows... Must upgrade that RAM. When I did have ZoneAlarm, It kept asking me, and it was a lot of fun picking and choosing, not too bad actually. I used to have NetStorm - Islands of War (PC Game) and I played that with the FireWall, Sending data only, but not allowing it to come back in!!! I have no Idea what the effect was, but I'm pretty sure the servers were going wild :p | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 85958 | 2002-10-04 05:18:00 | I don't allow anything, then when it asks for access I decide then. | -=JM=- (16) | ||
| 85959 | 2002-10-04 05:21:00 | Using Kerio, I watch for what it is trying to communicate, which direction (in or out), and to what URL. If I allow it, then it's usually the default setting, if I don't allow it, then it's not at all. Occasionally I'll go through and set them manually, but usually the default works for me. Mike. |

| 85960 | 2002-10-04 07:00:00 | I have applications allowed on a case by case basis (allow or block when asked by firewall). As far as my home network is concerned, I have two rules. 1. Allow file sharing with other PC Allow incoming and outgoing traffic to the other PC's IP address on UDP ports 137-139 on both machines. 2. Allow ICS Allow incoming and outgoing traffic on TCP ports 20,21,80 and 443 on both machines. Any comments from those who know about the dangers of doing this should comment. i am pretty sure that this is OK. Better than allowing all trafic on all ports to that IP IMHO. G P |

| 85963 | 2002-10-04 09:09:00 | Tweakie, From the post 137 & 139 are running on the internal network. I was more interested in the fact that he is running an FTP and HTTP server. Are those ports necessary for file sharing music? |

| 85964 | 2002-10-04 10:06:00 | Well, I guess it depends of your filesharing Prog, I know WinMX lets your specify which ports it uses. | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
