Heres a good site for testing your "Wall" ....

Firewall Leaktester (http://www.firewallleaktester.com/advices.htm)

My Zone Alarm configuration passed all of them except "WallBreaker" and I'm working on that one...!!!!

I use "ProcessGuard 3.0" as well as "Zone Alarm Pro v5.5.062" and "Norton Corporate 9.0.0.338"
Between the 3 of them they stop most crap known to mankind.... :lol:

yeah, this will be good
at least we'll know whether the firewalls we're using are crap all this while or not

To get rid of XP's crapwall:
In Control Panel, open Network Connections, then right click your connection, select Properties , select Advanced and untick the box that says Protect my comp yada-yada-yada....
Settings will take affect next time you connect if the connection is active....


@ 15%: Some of those are older/beta versions of the firewalls in those tests results so are a little inaccurate
