“Ask” firewall rule doesn’t work at all for me under Vista Ultimate 32x. Just get a “block” instead, since that is the next rule. Seems to just ignore all "ask"s.
Same here. Having a rule with the “Ask” action is the same as not having that rule at all: CFP just moves on to the next rule in the list or pops-up an alert if there is none (or blocks when alerts are disabled).
