My favorite firewall is f*cough*'d up!

[sp0radic]

Tiny Personal Firewall, the firewall I was using decided to roll over on it's back and piss me off. I had to uninstall it and now I got *cough* zonealarm *cough*.



(The attached image is what the error look like)

It happened after installing WinGate. The error pops up every often even when wingate is disabled.

I'm runn'n Win2K Pro.

zonealarm ive had it since it came out.

a firewall wont prevent hackage. a good preventative measure is burning your computer.

Tiny Personal Firewall owns!

And I don't use Wingate, so I never face that problem

I know it owns.

I'm only use'n Wingate so I share the internet with my dad's comp (the one that everyone esle uses). It's only got Win98 (not SE) on it.

Can't you use the ICS thing that comes with Windows 98?

 

[LastActionHero]

ICS comes only with SE, he has FE.

I used zonealarm and then moved up to the pro version. Zonealarm is the best!

I thought you could get it off of Windows Update or something?

Hm, only Windows software to choose from?

I use ipchains on Linux. Haven't tried iptables yet. Used to use ipfilter on FreeBSD. Never used a Windows firewall before though (I'm not sure I trust Windows for such a job)...

Never had a problem where I'd scream out the title of this thread though. I did once have an issue where I couldn't get SSL working on a server. After hours of banging head on desk, I realized I hadn't opened up port 443 on the firewall...

I use this firewall called...

err... I forgot...

I'll tell you when i remember.

 

[trenzterra]

I don't have one at all... maybe I should get one?

If you're on dial-up then there isn't really a need, but it still wouldn't hurt. If your on broadband, you should definately have one.
