Sub-standard Firewall

Hi, I was wondering if there has been any progress on the implementation of opening/blocking non-application-specific ports in the BDTS 2012 Firewall? It seems like a fairly simple thing to do seen as EVERY other firewall has it, BDTS 2011 / 2010 had it, so why was it removed?


Im struggling to get a working external connection to an IIS 7.5 SSL-secured site on my machine. If I turn off BDTS 2012 Firewall and open up port 443 in Windows Firewall, all works as expected and I can access the site no problem.


If I leave BDTS 2012 Firewall on then all I get is 'Blocked packet because of rule 35'. What exactly is the mysterious rule 35 and where can I change it? Also, what is rule 25? I've seen this screwing around with Samba shares.


I've set my network to Home/Office, non-stealthed and generic=yes as suggested in another post but this doesnt do anything to improve matters.


Thanks for any help and advice you can give.


Nick


PS: Zoning is useless when the only way I can get it to work is by adding all the dynamic IP addresses given to my devices by the various networks I use.
