Gibler, I think you're right as I can't find anything even in the advanced settings. I don't want to play around with bridge settings cos I don't know enough about it - will probably make matters worse.

I'll just stick with ports being closed.

Cheers everyone

For long term peace of mind, consider looking at the issue again sometime and get all ports to stealth.

Your Kerio software firewall can do it for you, which you'll need to suss out because your modem can't.

Try Kerio's own online forums for more specifics.

424385 2006-01-26 23:49:00 The setting in most Routers will be for Network Address Translation (NAT), not a specific setting marked "firewall"

That provides a good (but inwards only) firewall.

My NAT enabled Alcatel router has all ports showing as "stealth". I also run Kerio, but it has nothing to do most of the time ...
