Paul,

Is ICF involved at all then? Or am I misreading your problem?

If ICF is involved with the problem, configure it as I noted. Or get rid of it
all together.

Is it a wired or wireless Linksys router?

Get a real firewall like ZoneAlarm (also free) that gives you outgoing
protection. Configure it properly, to allow file sharing while still protecting
you.

Cheers,
Chuck
Paranoia comes from experience - and is not necessarily a bad thing.
