[QUOTE="Victor M, post: 1121213, member: 96560"] Anyways, now that that is cleared away, the point is that firewall rules are important to check. Maybe one doesn't have a set of tight rules suitable for cafe use. PCI-DSS reminds us to check our firewall rules every 6 months . But I guess they missed out on the fact that laptops go places. I just finished an self-audit a month or two ago and there were no audit provisions to take care of that issue. I guess the lesson here is to make use of network firewall profiles to have different rules for different environments. But since Windows doesn't prompt one to choose a firewall profile upon install finish, many people will not know to use the different profiles. Plus of course to remember also to change the profile when the environment changes. [/QUOTE]
