Default More NIS Advice

Greetings and Salutations Guys

Fast_johnny

In your first post, you said you had NIS monitoring port 6346, have you written a specific rule to allow any computer to access that port?

Or better still, have you recently done a scan for internet enabled applications? Once you have gone through this process you can get NIS to virtually write the firewall rules for you, simply go through the application NIS fines and say whether they should have full, partial (access with your permission) or no access to the internet.

I have also found that if I disable “Block Fragmented Packets” (it's enabled by default) and “Stealth all Blocked Ports” I have absolutely no problems.

Finally (daft question time), you say you have a router, and I know very little about routers, so is it possible that “Stealth all Blocked Ports” in NIS is reacting against the router rather than LW?

Hope this helps.

As someone who has installed SP2, can you say if there any advantages to having it. Bearing in mind that I am a security conscious person who already has an armada of security software and I am (almost) paranoid about PC stability.

In other words, why bother with SP2?
