[QUOTE="Brahman, post: 989909, member: 11847"] Unless you are using a static ip address (ipv6/ipv4) there is no point in testing using ShieldsUp, because it will be testing your isp's dynamic server's ports and not yours. Even with a static ip address most ISP's (Internet service provider) won't open ports unless you explicitly request for the same. If you want to test your computer firewall, first you need a static ip address, then make a "port forward" rule in your router to open-up your computer's ip address to web, then only you can test your computers's firewall capability. ( and its a sheer waste of time) Edit: to clear the confusion of what ISP means... thanks to blackice. [/QUOTE]
