I'm not using Zone Alarm on any Windows PC's. I do run Ontrack (now V-Com) System Suite 4, which has a configurable firewall that asks for permission before letting anything out. I haven't had the time to play with inbound. The Port Triggering seems to be app-centric in that it only has to be able to identify the programming that is trying to make a whole. As Stephen suggested, Linux apps are not doing all the work, the kernel manages the underlying system requirements. > > T> If I can figure out how to get Linux to use the Port Triggering, I'll > T> let you know. > > It might help if you could find out how the Linksys gets this app > info.
