Well that explains it then! You're not even using DHCP so no requests/responses are being issued. That's why you can be missing rules in your...
Well of course the answer is: it depends. Is your computer a laptop? If so, does it connect to various networks, wireless or otherwise (home,...
Very odd! Do me a favour: type "ipconfig /all" at a command prompt and tell me what it says beside "Dhcp Enabled". To get this thread back on...
I don't know how that's working unless there's another rule somewhere permitting inbound DHCP responses. I'm betting that even the rule you DO...
That works fine for any available local services to which svchost needs access, such as DHCP/DNS (see above). This also assumes you aren't...
The only choice I've made so far is to use Kerio. :) The reason I posted in the first place was to find an alternative with which I didn't HAVE to...
Whoa! Fast posting around here! :) I use TH (guard & scanner) as well. Call me paranoid, but I just want to cover all eventualities...
Yes, that's exactly what I'm talking about, and it's just one example. I see svchost as a huge security hole in Windows and want more control over it.
Thanks for the reply, ghost16825 (can I just call you ghost?:). I'm after a firewall that allows specific control over each and every aspect of...
Thanks profhsg, I'll take a look at that guide. Sounds promising! Don't get me wrong, CrazyM: I love the old Kerio. And so far it's working well...
Hi all, I'm looking for a firewall that handles svchost properly, i.e. lets me at all the "hosted" bits individually. I know I've seen...
Just to clarify, I was referring to older ZoneAlarm's yes/no 'net access specification, not Kerio's. Kerio is much more fine-grained, but it's...
As I have a "hardware firewall" (Linux iptables running in a Linksys WRT54G), I'm more interested in an application firewall. How does the new ZA...
It could be a plugin that's been installed in Winamp. Afaik they can do pretty much anything. Keystroke/mouse click monitoring is a bit rude, however.
