[Win Firewall w/ Adv Sec]  Outbound Firewall restriction notification?
Hi, in beta testing different applications in Win 7, I attempted to enable outbound firewall blocking by default with rule based exceptions.As a matter of security, I like to be in the know when an application attempts to communicate out to the network.All is fine and dandy with that, I have set up rules per program, and setup a few ports that multiple programs use. But, I'm wondering if I can be notified when a program attempts to access the net, possibly to add another exception easily instead of having to jump back into the mmc snap-in.Unfortunately, it seems that the Windows Firewall Customization options only allow for notification for inbound requests to penetrate the firewall. Anyone know of a way to get outbound notifications, or am I missing something?

Answering my own post.I'm guessing that, based on the possibility that the win 7 firewall hasn't changed much from the usibility standpoint compared to vista, that it is not going to have that feature without some third party plugin... http://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=711560Hmmm...
