Redhat Posted December 7, 2003 Report Share Posted December 7, 2003 I hate it when it is called a firewall. It protect's inbound... well, it stops you getting blaster or nachi. Useless against trojans or propogating worms. Useless if you have a router. Check my article here : http://www.windowsforum.org/support/forum/...?showtopic=3702Pick one of the free firewalls that protect inbound and outbound (they all do). XP Firewall will protect outbound from Service Pack 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antidote Posted December 8, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2003 can a firewall cut your connection off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redhat Posted December 8, 2003 Report Share Posted December 8, 2003 It regulates the traffic in (and normally out) and thus can block normal traffic by accident. The problem with running two firewalls is that they can conflict and cause issues. Just run sygate :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
