TCP/IP Filtering help

This is a discussion about TCP/IP Filtering help in the Everything New Technology category; I followed APK's Speedup and security guide. But for some reason when i deny IP protocols besides 6 and 17 i can't get on the internet. As soon as i check allow all it is fine though. . . is there a list of protocols i can try to see what is not making my connection work.

OP
thanks for the info. It seems not with recent attacks and everything else, that security is a big concern for people, so i would like to get a good handle on it on my own system before i go off into the IT world. Do you have any links or anything where i can read up more on IP security.
