Would you please tell me what it is in an internet connection ?
I see it written in my firewall windows, I am only curious to know what it really means...
Thanks

What firewall are you using?
 
It sounds to me like you're talking about the Internet Connection firewall in XP.

The Internet connection is just that, your internet connection.

Thanks a lot,
I am using Zone Alarm, and my entry type is Adapter Subnet, I don't understand what it means, which is why I made the above question...
Could you tell me what Adapter Subnet is and if there are any other types or not ? If any, what are they ?

Thank you very much,
