Can anyone tell me the differences between these 2 settings in the Firewall of this Suite The Medium Setting is: Suspicious TCP and UDP packets are discarded Flooding and Portscan are prevented. While the High Setting is: Computer is invisible on the network Connections from outside are blocked Flooding and portscan are prevented Correct me if I'm wrong,but I presume having it set to high would be more preventative, or is there little diference between the 2
Heres what I found from the avira forum: High setting stealths your ports and Medium doesnt. Also the High setting conflicts with p2p.
Well I just ran a check at pcflank.com and it passes the most rigorous tests at medium setting such as: Stealth Test Trojans Test Advanced Port Scanner Exploits test All these returned a perfect 100% Stealthed, so the Avira forum statement leaves something to be desired All stealthed at ShieldsUp also.
Wouldnt have a clue All I know is I have a ADSL2 Connection and my Conection indicator in the taskbar states its Conected to Local and Internet
If your Ip address is 192.168.X.X than most probably you are behind a router which will give you inbound firewall protection. You will find more info on the link below, I hope this helps. http://compnetworking.about.com/cs/windowsnetworkin1/ht/findaddrwinxp.htm
