disabling ICMP protocol attack detection

Hoo!

When i disable the "ICMP protocol attack detection" i'm not longer able to do a traceroute (and the spd.exe service ping-procedure from "cFosSpeed" wont work correctly) - even when i create a rule that explicit allows ALL ICMP (inbound & outbound in all zones) ... why? Is this a bug?

I know, there is a predefined ICMP-system-rule (with orange arrows on it), but i cant disable or delete it.

But why have you disabled it in the first place?

And all of the other intrusion detections as well?

You shuld NOT disable any of these, that's a safety risk you taking.

 

I "live" behind a router that covers most of the disabled IDS-options. I dont need them twice.
