will a blackice defender user please try a test at this networkice knowledge base site?

advice.networkice.com

this is the test i'm having trouble with:

advice.networkice.com
"This site sends hostile traffic at your computer, but the responses are ignored. Its purpose is to verify that our product is running, and suggest what the problem is if it doesn't trigger an alert."

when i click on the above link, here is what i encounter:

"scan me

Clicking on the above link will send a fake Back Orifice packet back to your system. Do not worry, this isn't a real attack."

then, this is the error message i get when i click on the scan me link :

"HTTP Error 403

403.2 Forbidden: Read Access Forbidden

This error can be caused if there is no default page available and directory browsing has not been enabled for the directory, or if you are trying to display an HTML page that resides in a directory marked for Execute or Script permissions only.

Please contact the Web server's administrator if the problem persists."

i've emailed support but i'd like to know if anyone else encounters the same prob. i've tried using both ie5.0 and nc4.7

btw, i have previously run tests from three of the other links... dslreports, grc and secureme. they're pretty cool. and i tried the vulchke link too:

it-sec.de
"Checks to see if Windows sharing is exposing hard-drives as well as for a couple of common Trojan Horses."

thanks

:)
