Another simply was was to right click on the ICMP alert in the log to add a rule automatically to the ruleset.

Tx Frederic! Yes that way is much easier. ;) Another question...does bein pingable affect your security or speed? At the Broadband forum they told me that it doesnt matter bein pingable or not..what do you think?

[Frederic]

Yes, being pingable could affect security since your PC is visible on internet.
You are not stealth. For instance you don't pass the GRC stealth test (https://grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2).
