Re: Has M$ heard of testing?
I was just thinking the same thing. A router (especially a wired router) is infinately easier to setup than ICS. |

This exploit is a threat when Microsoft's Internet Connection Sharing is enabled. If you're using a router than this vulnerability doesn't affect you.
I would however still recommend a 3rd party firewall. I really don't trust the microsoft one. I prefer one that gives me more control over what is being allowed. The MS firewall is configurable to a point, but not like I would prefer. |

The less tech savvy would a lot more likely to be able to set up a router than to ever get ICS to work.
