A8N-SLI Nvidia Firewall and Marvel LAN Port

[JMag]

I was playing around with changing a variety of things in the BIOS and decided to switch to the Marvel LAN and disable the Nvidia LAN (thinking that maybe I might get a better overclock)

Does the Nvidia Firewall work with only the Nvidia LAN connect?

I am asking this cause I noticed when I right click on the firewall to change levels of protection everything seems to change like normal, but then when I right click on it again the pop up menu shows that it is on anti-hacking (instead of high or whatever I set it at)

Then when I try to view the current profile it says I haven't installed the firewall or I am not an admin (which I am...)

Anyone have this experience?

So I just did a quick check and re-enabled the Nvidia LAN w/in the BIOS, now it seems the Nvidia Firewall is working fine... However, I am connecting to my LAN by the Marvell, so I wonder if the firewall is only working on the Nvidia LAN port and not on the Marvel LAN...

As long as you have the NV port enabled in bios it appears to work for the Marvel port as well. I've been running this way for over a month, and the firewall works.

How have you confirmed this?

I know it seems to work, but I did a test with an external port scan and even with the NV Firewall disabled all my ports were stealthed because of the router I have (hrm... well... I guess I could try to figure out how to disbale my router's firewall, but I don't even know if I can do that...)
