Guest Jim Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 If the ICS option in MSIE is selected, the machine that is to be the host is the only machine that needs this enabled. NAT is enabled by the host to the clients. What about the host? Does it too have NAT to the Internet or is it exposed to the trolling bots, hacks etc? Is it possible to have a type of [single device router] NAT effect to the host using ICS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest S. Pidgorny Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 The ICS host's external IP address is exposed. ICF is to protect. Do not assume that hardware routers are bug-free and provide better protection than ICS/ICF. Netwok layer entities do not protect from trolling bots. Speaking of which: please use meaningful subject lines if you are not one. -- Svyatoslav Pidgorny, MS MVP - Security, MCSE -= F1 is the key =- http://sl.mvps.org http://msmvps.com/blogs/sp "Jim" <invalid@example.invalid> wrote in message news:%23ibCAcSjIHA.4844@TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl...<span style="color:blue"> > If the ICS option in MSIE is selected, the machine that is to be the host > is > the only machine that needs this enabled.
