Just installed the sygate personal firewall & this being the 1st time
Ive used one, have a couple of questions that maybe someone can help me
with..... #1, under their quick scan everything is blocked but my tcp/ip
address, is that normal? #2 under the stelth scan i have service (web),
port ( 80 ) closed but not blocked... Also service (port), port (4562)
also closed but not blocked. would this be normal, or should those 2 be
blocked & if so how do I do it? Every thing else under the stelth scan
is blocked by the way.. Thanks for any help, Gimpy....

Everything in the Quick Scan and Stealth Scan should show Blocked,
except for the tcp/ip address which you are using to connect to
Sygate for the tests.
After reading your post, I did both of these scans on my Sygate
firewall. I was surprised to fine several ports closed instead of
blocked under the Stealth Scans. I went in and altered some of
my advanced rules to clear the problem. I then redid both tests
and found everyting to be blocked.
So, look at your advanced rules which might be causing the problem.

Thanks Casey, but just checked & I dont have anything listed under
advance rules ?
