Windows 7: How to Prevent the Mouse from Waking your PC
I would suggest installing APF fire wall, then do this:
pico -w /etc/apf/conf.apf
Change this:
IG_ICMP_TYPES="3,5,11,0,30,8"
To this:
IG_ICMP_TYPES="3,5,11,0,30"
So, if you have a monitoring service, add the monitor's IP to the alallow_hosts.rules file.
THEN:
service apf restart
That would block pings from all outside sources except the IP's you explicitly allow.
using your tips page.. only had to disable ping to achieve it! thanx again! :P
