Every prog I try to use such as Azureus, Bittorrent (any version), Torrent Storm...ALL give me the yellow firewalled light, even my MSN Messenger is given me unable to connect due to firewall problems errors. I have the latest versions of all the progs, and Im using Win XP Pro...yes i did turn off my crappy built in Xp Firewall and I uninstalled Zone Alarm Pro months ago...I have no other firewall program...any solutions? btw im only a 56ker so im on dial up...
Do you use a router
I recommend you to use Sygate Personall Firewall, many people have problems with ZoneAlarm... :(
Thats an awful firewall its crappy i hate it so much it did not stop MSBlast with my PC, Zone Alarm alot easier to useand stopsMSn Blast with my PC. And yes when i tried both firewalls i had latest pacthes from Microsoft
@angel_of_death57
Ok, weird... Using Sygate Personal Firewall Pro v5.5 and no problems @ all... It also stopped M$ Blaster... :)
Hhhhhhhhhhhhmmmmmmmmmm
Well ZoneAlarm Protects My PC Perfectly and BitTorrent works on Green
Sygate caused attacks and everything slow on mine.
SO my choice will be ZoneAlarm Pro
Not Zone Alarm free cos that sucks
No,no, no...Im NOT using a firewall...I did use Zone Alarm Pro like half a year ago but it has long since been uninstalled...I have NO RUNNING FIREWALLS...as far as a router, im not sure exactly what a router is...like i said im only on dial up.
@soma
Ok, simple question.... Do you have a internal modem???
Yes...just a generic V.92 crappy internal modem.
I'm shocked that you have been browsing the internet without a firewall :huh: . Are you using antivirus?Quote:

How do the warnings appear, it is like the zonealarm warning? I'm thinking you must have firewall installed otherwise you won't get any warnings.
I have an Anti-Virus (AVG the free version)...actually the only time I ever ended getting a virus was when I did have a firewall so...I havent used a firewall for like 6 months and have had no problems as well as the 2 years before installing one.
anybody?!? Im really struggling here!!!
