[QUOTE="Victor M, post: 1052531, member: 96560"] Hi [USER=97327]@Max90[/USER] I stand corrected. It seems that DisableIPSourceRouting should be set to 2. I did not know about these settings: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters] "EnableICMPRedirect"=dword:00000000 "PerformRouterDiscovery"=dword:00000000 "SynAttackProtect"=dword:00000001 Thanks for your info. Much appreciated. IPSEC network encryption has to be set up in order to use. It requires a presharedkey (password) or machine certificates. Machine certificates will require a public key infrastructure (PKI), which is beyond most home users' capability. And presharedkey is considered insecure. Netbt is NetBIOS over TCP/IP. Which is disabled at Settings > Network & Internet > Advanced network settings > More network adapter options for each adapter. But, defense in depth is always the best, and I thank you for your info. [/QUOTE]
