what am I missing here? I have an xp pro sp2 machine with the firewall
turned on and only the remote assistance exception active. The check box IS
check to "Display a notification when windows firewall blocks a program".
However I can port scan this box using very 'loud' methods and it does not
notify me at all? I tried to connect to it via several ways and although all
failed, as they should have, I was never notified?
what am I missing?
1) is thie 'notify' feature not for inbound traffic? maybe only outbound?
2) Does the xp sp2 firewall even block any outbound traffic?
any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
