Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Win XPro
1.Since the PC Cillin configuration fails, is it possible to configure the
MS firewall to block incoming pings or block computer reply.to a ping?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.Have installed PC-cillin Internet Security 2005.. got following from
Tech service but All ports grayed out and it fails Gibson ping test:
Following from TM Tech Service:
What we need to do is to add an entry on PC-cillin's Firewall profile.
Here's how:

1.) Launch the PC-cillin Internet Security 2005 console. To do this, click
Start > Programs > Trend Micro PC-cillin > Trend Micro PC-cillin Internet
Security 2005.

2.) Click on Network Security.

3.) Click on Personal Firewall. Make sure the Enable Personal Firewall
checkbox is selected. Under Edit Profile, choose the currently selected
profile on the list (marked by a green circle) and then click on Edit.

4.) Click on the Exception List tab.

5.) Click Add to start creating a new rule.
a.) On the Description box type in ICMP
b.) Leave Target as all applications
c.) Connection, select INCOMING
d.) Action, select DENY
e.) With Protocol, select ICMP
f.) With Ports, select ALL PORTS
g.) IP Setting is ALL ADDRESSES

6.) Click OK at the bottom.

7.) On the Exception List, make sure that the new rule created is listed and
the box before it has a checkmark. Click the OK button once you have
verified that the new rule created is listed and checked.

8.) To save the settings click the Apply button below.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
All works fine except for 5.f.(All Ports)
When I select 5.e:Protocol and enter ICMP, All Ports becomes grayed out

.....Since All Ports grayed out and unable to be selected......In Shields Up
testing, the ping test fails and the computer replies to a ping.

Thanks in advance
