For McAfee, you have to decide what's allowed incoming and you have to decide what software is allowed to communicate out. In other words, everytime I have a new program installed and it checks for an internet connection, I have to decide if I want it to communicate out or not. Perfect example, Microsoft's WinXP SP1... upon installing it, I was greeted with a message saying that it wanted to communicate with microsoft and I had to decide to allow/deny the communication.
Is this what you mean by Isolation? If so, then ... afraid it does. However, once that's taken care of, you only have to do it once per application. I think majority of the firewall software do this now (and, if they don't, they should IMHO). ~Todd On Fri, 20 Sep 2002, Adam Reynolds wrote: > Todd, > Do you know if the McAfee Firewall isolated the machine (similar to the way > Zone Alarm works) the first time it fired up and you then had to enable > access to the machine? > > I am remotely administering the machine, so this type of isolation would > mean a physical trip to the machine, which I really do not want to do. > > > Adam -- ============================================================ Todd Rafferty ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) - http://www.web-rat.com/ | Team Macromedia Volunteer for ColdFusion | http://www.macromedia.com/support/forums/team_macromedia/ | http://www.flashCFM.com/ - webRat (Moderator) | http://www.ultrashock.com/ - webRat (Back-end Moderator) | ============================================================ ______________________________________________________________________ Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe, send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with 'unsubscribe' in the body or visit the list page at www.houseoffusion.com
