i've just been to the shields up (http://www.grc.com/su-firewalls.htm) site test my security and it failed the stealth test, *** was open but ive stealthed that one but it says it can still ping me..
i checked the ICMP settin on outpost free and it was set to block ICMP requests so now i have moved to ZA free and its still the same, i cant find no ICMP settings in ZA though.. :(
so this is what it said:

*056 Ports Tested
ALL PORTS tested were found to be: STEALTH.
TruStealth: FAILED - ALL tested ports were STEALTH,
- NO unsolicited packets were received,
- A PING REPLY (ICMP Echo) WAS RECEIVED.
i have also done a netstat command to see if i could see anything dodgy going on, there was a couple of connections established and listening but i wasnt sure what they all were..so here is a netstat (i've removed personal info and put *** in)
