[QUOTE="DaFlake, post: 1035651, member: 57419"] Of course a firewall doesn't hide you... It simply is used to shut ports down that you are not using and block access. If a firewall was pointless nobody would be using them and I can assure you that they do work. [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firewall_(computing[/url]) I think that you are thinking of mac filtering or hiding a SSID. Those really don't do anything for a person trying to lock a system down.
