  Hi there



  I've just been reading 
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;283213 and noticed the 
section on "Blocking and Logging Outbound ICMP Traffic".



  Now this article was last reviewed on 23 April 2003 so I presume that it's 
info is pretty current. But what I don't understand is why I would want to look 
at installing the ISAHF51.EXE and then creating the BlockOutboundICMP registry 
key, when simply disabling the default "Allow Outbound ICMP" Packet Filter rule 
would appear to do the same thing.?



  Am I missing something here?



  Cheers

  William R.
