In the very early hours of this morning (Wednesday) we had here in
Canberra one hell of a wind 'storm' with the result that one of our
neighbour' trees was bought down and short-circuited 2 phases of the
power lines. The power surge took out my modem's power unit.
Today, as replacement, I bought the Netcomm NB9WMAXX (ADSL2+VoIP)
modem/router and now have it working for both ADSL and VoIP.
However, for the first time in ~7 years I now FAIL the ShieldsUp!,
TruStealth, test on grc.com: all ports are in Stealth mode but the
FAILure occurs because the Netcomm accepts and replies to ICMP pings.
This didn't occur on the Netgear and the Zyxel modems I had before.
The question now is: does anyone know which parameter in this Netcomm I
need to play with - and what are the settings - to stop these responses
to pings, please?
As additional info, I am running Ubuntu Lucid (is there something in
Lucid which could be set? - although I have never had to fiddle with any
settings in Ubuntu before so I believe that this is modem firewall
hassle, but then I am not a network geek :-) ).
Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
BC
