- Netgear DG834 default firewall rules don’t work
- Posted by Andrew on December 8th, 2003
Dear All
Ever since I purchased my Netgear DG834 I have been unable to hide my
computer behind the Netgear. With my DG814, all ports were shown as
blocked/stelthed. How ever since I installed the DG834 some of the
ports have been showing up as closed and not blocked/stelthed.
Whilst changing the configuration on the DG834, I added an additional
block rule for all udp/tcp ports, this time with logging turned on.
To my amazement all the ports are now blocked/stelthed. This to me can
only mean that the original default rule is not functioning correctly.
Any comments any one???

It's a Netgear, did you expect it to work 100 % ? Wait for the 5th firmware
revision...

Mmmmmm, I have had the same symptom with my DG834G except I have not
tried the setting with 'logging on'. I'll be interested in any other
responses as well......

Can you let me know exactly what rule you added? I have tried it but
still got the same result. You are not blocking all Outbound udp/tcp
traffic, surely????

I'm blocking all inbound TCP & UDP ports from any wan device
Basically the same as the last default rule.
Not sure if logging has anything to do with it .

Most interesting. I did the same blocking and got fully stealthed on
everything except port zero so I'm a happy bunny. Logging doesn't
seem to be relevant.....
I've experienced far more serious software bugs than this....

Probably not relevant, but Netgear have just posted an firmware flash.

Yawn. They do it as often as M$ fixes another IE vulnerability.
As always they test the stuff on punters.
I will never buy any Netgear.

Whereas I, like many people, have have 100% postive experiences with both
my Netgear routers and would recommend them to anyone!

and of two DG814s I use/access, one works and one failed (ADSL modem
side - made line appear engaged all the time, never got in sync) so I
would be less enthusiastic, especially as there are plenty of others
from which to choose (I've been very happy with cheaper ones :-) PM
