Are you supposted to get a firewall alert?
I've never got any
(Alerts for ICMP enabled)

I got an alert for the first test, which I declined... and therefor past the test.

there was no firewall alert for the second one and failed the test..

run with fresh installation of CPF in standard configuration.

Strange.  I got 2 alerts:
1) Defense+, which I had to allow to be fair
2) Firewall alert, which is the real show that I had to deny

Using Clean PC mode (D+) and Custom mode (firewall)

If this bun can pass it, anyone can.

I have Defense+ in Paranoid Mode and Firewall in Custom Policy. I don't get any alert probably because I've blocked all ICMP traffic In/Out

Lol true

I am using Clean PC mode (D+) and custom mode (firewall) but do not get an alert for the second test... wondering what settings are required.

I got two alerts and allowed both then learned I passed test 1 and failed test 2. Should I have allowed them or is being asked/warned the pass?

Please see my post above:

I got a timeout for test 1, then error:icmp echo status=11010
I block frfom the firewall 1st, then Defense plus pops up and block that AFTER the icmp error. I guess this means passed??

BTW, I have Norton Protection Center on a laptop and it failed hands down.

same good results here: first alert from Def+, I allow it, and then an alert from the firewall itself. Also in my case when I disable CFP, the router firewall doesn't pass the test.

By the way it's not the first time I notice that: when I allow or block something from Def+ or the firewall without checking the remember box, things are being remembered for the Windows Session. Like for that test, I didn't check remember and the ICMP traffic from it keeps being blocked with no alert, starting with the second test.

This is the reason when testing, it is recommended to reboot between tests.
