Yes and no.
The older firmware versions do but the newest firmware version, 1.43, Sep 04
2002, doesn't.
There is no place to enable or disable in this version.
As I said in a previous post though, OutPost firewall handles that for me
just fine and I am glad that this LinkSys version is able to be stealthed at
PCFlank unlike the prior ones.
