By configuring your firewall of choice to drop ICMP echo requests.How can I set nic to not respond to ping?
Port 0 has nothing to do with ping. Port 0 is reserved, should never see any traffic at all, and is almost always blocked at your ISP. If it's not, you can use a firewall rule to drop that traffic as well.I went to ShieldsUp and only had one port "0" that responded and did so with "closed" which I am assuming is the response to my guess is the ping.
Aside, the "stealth" test on GRC is pure paranoia. A closed port will not accept any connections and presents no security risk.
