OK - Just joined the WiFi brigade & brought a Belkin F6D4230-4 (v1) Cable Router
I have my PC connected via cable, & have my Wii/DSi and mobile connecting via WiFi - there's no problem with those
Since the router has a built in Firewall - I got rid of my software one (Comodo Firewall), but just to check how good it is I visted PCFlank to test my PC security
(I also tried Symantec's security & 'shields-up' as well - which it passed on both of those just fine)
Now I've tried all the tests & passed most, except for 'Browser Test' and 'Quick test'
I'm not too concern about the 'Browser test' too much (it's really only 'Cookie' and 'Refferer' - & these can be 'fixed' with Firefox plugins etc),
but on the 'Quick Test' I've got a warnings for 'visible port(s) on your system:' (I've ran the test a few times & sometimes only 1 port show up while other times it's up to 4 ports that are 'visible')
Now my question is - HOW do I tell the Belkin firewall to hide/block the ports mentioned ??
I'm guessing it something to do with Belkin Router Setup Utility > Firewall > Client IP Filters , but although I've added
Can any1 help ??
