Re: TecQ. help

Ray,

You must create a new rule under Network Control.

Name - "ICMP out", or "Outbound ping", whatever
Connection - Outgoing
Response - Allow
Protocol - ICMP
Type number - All
Types - All IP addresses

ICMP ping is a Layer 3 function and does not use any Layer 4 abstracts
(ports), and you are only permitting locally-originated requests, so there
is little risk in opening ICMP outbound.

However, if you want to tighten the rule up a bit, permit only a ping
request by specifying a Type number of 8. Incoming Type 0 (the response to
the Type 8 ICMP ping) is not blocked, so it needs no rule.

Hi everybody


for a few days now I have noticed a massiv slow-down on certain
web-pages I have bookmarked.
I've done a speed-check which turned out to be the usuall. I also done
a defrag, as well as switching from my usuall Firefox to IE7. All to
no avail. I even downloadet and re-installed Firefox. Download-speed
is also "normal".

So, what could it be that is slowing down the build-up of these
bookmarked web-sides? And what else should I do to get the build-up of
these pages back to normal?

Could be your isp's DNS servers. Locate the ip numbers for some sites
and try reaching them through that. For example CNN is 64.236.16.52.
You can find the IP address by doing a ping (open a command prompt
window and run ping on the www adress) then type in the ip address in
the address bar. Do you get to the site faster? If so, your ISP's DNS
server is the issue.

Interesting as I have not done a Ping in a long time. I pinged
www.cnn.com & 64.236.16.52 came up. All packets lost.

I think its TrendMicro stopping the ping but so far I have not found
where to turn it off to do the ping. :(
