Thanks to a previous thread, I am more aware of Internet security than ever!
According to Symantec and it's scan on the Internet, I was reported that half
of my ports were open and therefore leaking. So, I got rid of every hole so far
but one, ping, how is ping unsecure and what can I do to take care of it's
vulnneurability?

Thanks
