Hi CragB!
Although, I checked out the link you provided...I'm afraid I'm still in the dark here. I did run the IPCONFIG /ALL command and have attached a screenshot of the results. If you look at it...perhaps you can tell if I have a public or private IP address. I believe mine is a public one.
I still don’t understand anything about what, if anything, should be put in the Profiles section of PC Tools Firewall. It looks like you enter either specific IP addresses or a range of Ip addresses. Frankly, I’m at the point of just uninstalling PC Tools Firewall and going back to using the default Windows Firewall. At least with that…I don’t have all this stress trying to figure out the complexities of PC Tools. I can just turn it on and forget it.
One other note…when I went to the ARIN WHOIS database (and McAfee’s IP search site)and checked the IP number 192.168.100.11 and the number shown as “Gateway IP” 192.168.100.1…(which were shown in the screenshot attached to my original post) both are listed as being PRIVATE and the location is shown as being off the coast of Africa, in the Sea of Guinea.
I appreciate your help though!
Pete
