dot dot?  explain..?

as far as working... i think it probably does a pretty good job (if u know
which ports u want/need to allow that is, as they are not listed anywhere
from ms) but my particular interest was preventing "icmp" floods, where ping
are sent continuously to kill a connection.  what port are these pings sent
on?  ping does not have it's own port, and i was curious as to which one it
used.  thanx.
