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
