Where exactly in the following is the reference to being behind a
router?

"I'd been running BlackICE on WinXP Pro SP2 (on 32-bit hardware) without
incident. But I recently built a 64-bit box and installed WinXP Pro SP2
(32-bit). I disabled Windows Firewall and its accompanying service and
installed BlackICE. But I get almost constant reboots, seemingly every
time there's network access. Consequently I've resorted to running the
Windows Firewall. However, tonight I finally got around to installing
WSFTP Pro 2006.1, and I find that the Windows Firewall blocks outgoing
FTP, with or without SSL. It even blocks FTP from the command line.
There were no prompts (from the firewall) to grant access, just a
connect denied message from within WSFTP. Once I disable the Windows
Firewall, however, FTP works just fine.

I created an exception of WSFTP hoping I wouldn't have to open multiple
ports just to run FTP occasionally. But this didn't work.

Any insights on why BlackICE won't run on my 64-bit hardware, or how to
configure the Windows Firewall for FTP would be greatly appreciated.
:-) I've used other firewalls, and as long as they're configured not to
block outgoing traffic (which I prefer), FTP has always worked just
fine. This is a new one for me.

Regards,

Margaret"
