Which firewall did you misconfigure ? every firewall I've used (as long as you block incoming ping) has stealthed me, straight out of the box.

I have my router, with hardware firewall, but you still need something for outbound. Jetico, and (I think) Look n Stop were the best at stopping anything outbound, so, as I'm a tight bugger, I installed Jetico as it's free.
