SYMPTOMS
When you turn on logging for Basic Firewall as described in Windows Server 2003 Help, you are not notified when Basic Firewall discards traffic.



CAUSE
This problem occurs because Basic Firewall does not support logging for individual requests. Windows Server 2003 Help incorrectly states that &quot;You can enable logging if you want to be notified when Basic Firewall discards traffic.&quot; This statement appears in the &quot;Securing Your Network with Basic Firewall&quot; topic in Windows Server 2003 Help, under the &quot;Basic Firewall Logging and Settings&quot; heading.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
