nForce4 Active Armor

[Deadalus]

Hi,

Just wondering, does nVidia 'Active Armor' (Firewall) just protect the 1 integrated nVidia network port? Or would it also protect my WiFi connection if I add a separate PCI card?

Thanks.

Yes, it only protects the Nvidia NIC. Any secondary NIC (inc wireless) are not protected.

Thanks DigitalFreak. It's a shame really, that makes it a lot less useful for me.

I'm using the Marvel Yukon lan jack, and the firewall works for me. Just leave the NV lan enabled in bios
(it shows "network cable unplugged" in the system tray for the Nv jack) a minor nuisance.

Thanks... I'll give it a try as soon as I can get hold of an nForce4 in the UK!
