Hi All,

I'm looking for anyone else here who is using the ICS (Internet Connection
Sharing) in WinMe.

I have a few questions about the differences between the port securities
when ICS is enabled and disabled.

With ICS "OFF", ShieldsUP (at grc.org) reveals that a whole wack
of ports are vulnerable (it detected all my shared directories)

With ICS "ON", I have a fairy good closed and "stealthed" system.

I'm aware of the vulnerable NetBui/TCP binding, but since installing ICS
there seems to be a whole wack of new components added in the Network
device list.  It's very confusing to discern what needs to be enabled and
bound for ICS and what can be unbound or completely Removed.
