Hey-

So I decided to do some scans on my box w/o my firewall. So far I have passed symantec, but not "shields up!". I couldn't pass shields up because I responded to ping, and all my ports were closed, not "stealth", which they are with my firewall on. I wondering how I can stealth or disable ping, and stealth the rest of the ports (win xp pro), W/O my firewall on. Is this possible? I think this will help enlighten me as to how a firewall works in the first place...

Thanks-
