OK- I have 2 computers on my LAN using broadband cable connection through a D-Link DI-704P router. I have tested my port security by using "Shields Up" on grc's website, and my computer (running XP Pro) is echoing the ping request from grc. All ports are "Stealthed". How does the ping request even get through to my computer when grc does not even "see" the correct IP address of the machine through the router?? I'm also running Norton 2003 and Zone Alarm (just started playing with this).
Is the echo reply even a concern? I just want to be secure with all this worm/virus crap running amuck!! I guess it just shows my computer exists on the internet? Can I get my computer to drop ping requests easily using Zone Alarm or some "secret" setting in XP??
