Hi Everyone: I want to know why a ICMP packet wants to be installed on my computer it is from France.. It was right after I updated my firewall -- it said type kernal driver but then it came again after I denied it from some person from France in more clarity Can someone enlighten me please. I denied entry and unchecked it coming in and going out until I know what it is and why--... Thanks again-- Jackie __________________________________________________________________ Jackie MacWhirter ICQ#: 19728235 Current ICQ status: + More ways to contact me I See more about me: __________________________________________________________________ --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
