Look in your Network Connections, how many connections are there? Make sure
that the ICF is enabled for all connections.

Assuming you are working on the correct Connection in your Network
Connections:

First, disable ICF, reboot, and re-enable ICF. Now remove all network
connections. Reboot. Make sure no network is present (by trying to browse
etc). Re-create the network for your new ADSL connection. Enable ICF.

hope this works

norton AV. NAV eliminated the file, then, a few minutes later, another Virus
Alarm (a peer to peer virus). So, I decided to see what was registered in
pfirewall.log. Surprise! there is not register since Feb19th, just the date
when I changed my ADSL provider. Mi ICF appears to be on, but it is obvious
that it is off. I confirmed that pinging my IP from other location: my ICF
is not enabled, although it appears to be OK.
