Ping Requests?
Posted: Thu Jun 19, 2008 7:49 am
Hi all.
Just to say really enjoying Mint.
I have one problem at the moment. I normally run Shields Up from GRC to check the security of my PC. Normally with Linux distros I have no issues at all. However I am failing on the following:
- A PING REPLY (ICMP Echo) WAS RECEIVED.
The full report is below. Not being that up with internet security with Linux, is there a way to stop this happening?
Many thanks
