Re: Firewall/Router necessary?

I've been testing for three days with another computer online with


firewall configured to permit all traffic in - out, set to log.



---------------------------------


Win2K, SP4


Home system, Single computer, dial-up


RegDefend


Anti-Executable


Deep Freeze


---------------------------------



All ports except 135 are show closed by the OS on a port scan


Messenger, DCOM, DTC services off



My test is to see if the computer can be protected this way, and if so,


to show that a router or firewall is not necessary for inbound


protection.



So far, I've picked up no alerts from RegDefend, nor Anti-Executable,


and no suspicious files created/modified on the HD.



I posted logs for the first  two days:
