By default, Block the connection is checked. You need to check Allow the
connection. -- Bob Lin, MS-MVP, MCSE & CNE Networking, Internet, Routing, VPN Troubleshooting on http://www.ChicagoTech.net How to Setup Windows, Network, VPN & Remote Access on http://www.HowToNetworking.com "Phillip Drummond" wrote in message ... ok i guess thats a DENY symbol... but why does the rule not work? i am attempting to block ALL outbound traffic to port 23.

We would need to know *exactly* what settings you have made in the rule to
know why it is not working. Personally, I'd also like to know what you are trying to achieve with this rule. --- Your question may already be answered in Windows Vista Security: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/047...otectyourwi-20 "Phillip Drummond" wrote: ok i guess thats a DENY symbol... but why does the rule not work? i am attempting to block ALL outbound traffic to port 23.
