Re: Windows XP Home firewall IP Addresds exceptions list



To view the DNS resolver cache, type ipconfig /displaydns at a command prompt. Ipconfig displays the contents of the DNS resolver cache, including the DNS resource records that are preloaded from the Hosts file and any recently queried names that were resolved by the system. After a certain time period, the resolver discards the record from the cache.

Perhaps they are referring to the ARP cache ?
Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) cache- To view the cache entries, type any one of the following commands:
arp -a

arp -g

As to logs, perhaps they're referring to a firewall log. If the native Windows firewall is being used it's- WINDOWS\pfirewall.log

I have already asked this question on windows Help and Support forum but got very little response. I repat the question below.

I wish to allow a certain scanning IP address to have access to my computer . I made various adjustments to Windows XP home firewall in the exceptions list.

The scanning computer was then able to scan my computer but only once.

Since then the scanning computer has unable to gain access to my computer.
I have recentlly received the following from the scanning organisation.

"Try looking to see if your cache contains our IP address . Also , attempt checking the logs to see on what level our IP is being blocked."

What cache and what log do they mean ?

I have sent an e - mail to the site concerned 7 days ago but have had no reply.
