Yeah, should mean you are blocking everything, you
might want to give a trusted person your IP so they
can scan your machine from the outside and check
everything is ok, I don't think I qualify in the
'trusted person' stakes for some reason :)

Personally I would say shut down the service anyway,
that is more secure than just blocking stuff sent to
the service, but it's just me being anal really...

Any time! I'm fixing linux firewall problems before
these other slackers are even out of bed ;)
