| Guest | Windows Firewall: almost all ports are closed but not stealthed! Today I've installed Windows Vista beta 2; Windows Firewall is on by default and this is ok, but Almost all the ports are *closed* but *not stealthed* and this is not so safe. Please make all ports stealthed! |

| Guest | Re: Windows Firewall: almost all ports are closed but not stealthed! Why would you want to a Vista machine on the network without a good "firewall" in front of it like a router? I would never put any machine with just a firewall on it.
