[nikita69]

[balamm]

It may be in the DynDNS connections or in hidden code- someone mentioned a "hide script".

I think this was related to your question, no?

[nikita69]

ISP? possible, I'm looking at the packets history now and i see some that i'll share'em shortly.

The other night I was reading a post by some spanish guy on some forum(the mods translated to english) that the last good build of sygate personal firewall pro was 5.0 build1150. Well then, I thought, I'll have to get that version. After more than 24 hours of on and off searching on google and a bloody battle with my registry, I finally found the right version at www.iron.dynip.com. Do companies(microsoft does this) try to make it hard to get older, confiscated versions of certain software? Anyway, I remembered Paul saying programs change your system in a way that makes it hard to go change back. He was right, I cleaned the registry of any sygate entries but now it "remembers" my original install(first i did 5.0pro build xxxx(not 1150) then i did 5.1pro ver1650 now i have5.0 pro ver1150) and now I only have 3 days left until it runs out. SHIT. Anyway, some facts about sygate:
1)there are some bugs, esp. in newer versions. The most common one is it "forgets" your application rule settings and advanced rules. The most serious one is it doesn't load at startup automatically, and clicking the icon doesn't start it. PM me if you want to know the "correct" settings under the "options" drop down link. Sygate "likes" for you to have things a certain way, and I cannot explain here because of space.

2)sygate is not good for beginners, imo. What happened in this case is a good example

3)the advanced rules are skipped if sygate decides they confict, they are wrong, ect....... When an advanced rule is skipped, sygate uses your applications rule instead.

4)if you want to know a "safe" way to configure unknown things, take allow the few ip-isp things like svchost.exe according to the sygate forum advice and everything else go to applications settings and allow everything but go in advanced and take away server privelages and pinging.

5)i suspect the order in which advanced rules appear in the advanced rules window MIGHT be the actual order in which sygate looks at them

[balamm]

Advanced rules? what for? I just looked to see if I had any and No, I don't. Never have.
It's a yes or no answer when something wants in or out. If you don't know, don't answer. It's that simple.
If it's a problem, close and reopen the program that wanted access and choose yes this time.
Don't spend so much time trying to do what your firewall was designed to do. You'll end up like those people who spend all their time cutting off other kazaa users.
I don't know what tool or method you're using to clean your registry but it apparently needs to be changed. I have no problems installing whatever build I choose to in any order i choose to.

balaam, are you serious? the smart netbios only blocks tcp 135,138,139 and 445. Depending on what boxes are ticked, sygate might block some others, but not many. I have tcp 4444, udp 69, tcp 666-765, tcp 5000, udp 1900,5000, incoming blocked along with some ip addresses of lamers who tried some dumb sh*t and a few other misc. things. As far as advanced rules go those are my core rules.

I didn't read that thread so I don't understand that.

I don't know what tool or method you're using to clean your registry but it apparently needs to be changed. I have no problems installing whatever build I choose to in any order i choose to.

Basically, I was installing the wrong version over and over, but it doesn't matter now because I finally found a site that was offering build1150 AND giving build1150. Many offered but it was build 1117 or another build. Someone has already made fun of me for not understanding the registry so, tchau or however you say it.

Don't spend so much time trying to do what your firewall was designed to do.

It may sounds kkrraaaazzzzyyyyyyyyy but I like fooling with my firewall. I hated trying to find build 1150 but its over now.
