I run XP and I have a DSL box (Westell 327w) with the
hardware firewall in this box enabled at the highest security
level.
Steve Gibson's web site checked this from the outside.
His test gives me a "clean bill of health" stating all ports
are either disabled or are in full stealth mode.
I believe the firewall to be both inbound and outbound,
but I have not checked outbound.
ping and tracert utilities all time out. I suspect this means
that the firewall is at least blocking the ping and tracert
ports.
Would someone please tell me how to test a hardware
firewall from the computer side of the firewall beyond
my simple minded ideas.
