I have a 2wire homeportal, and I have some ports open for p2p, etc. I
have blackice running behind it. The hardware performs NAT and SPI.

I noticed an alert on blackice: A queso scan, and an NMAP OS
Fingerprint request were sent to those open ports.

Shouldn't the hardware firewall have filtered this out before it
reached the software firewall? I thought I was paying for "stateful
packet inspection" on open ports.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.
