[QUOTE="HeffeD, post: 60602, member: 61"] The problem with the 'stealth' concept, is that there is no such thing... Someone has decided at some point that if their computer doesn't respond to standard networking protocols, they will be [i]invisible[/i]. :rolleyes: This is not the case... The problem is, that if a computer makes a request, (A simple ping, for example) it expects a response. This is standard networking protocol. Yes, even if a machine is turned off, a reply that the host is unreachable will result if a machine is pinged. This lack of a response because you're 'stealthed' actually tells someone (if they care) that not only is there a computer at that address, but it's actively dropping requests. :exclamation: So much for 'stealth'. :P [/QUOTE]
