wrong,

a _true_ firewall  segments a public network with a private network through NAT
or PNAT, not an application such as BID that resides in the taskbar.  They
market it as a firewall, but in all terminology its not, just a basic port
listener that opens all your ports and listens for incoming SYN_PKTsS.  

Look at the code, you'll see.

Read before you post!
