Haxor you'vd recomended before. Can I run two firewalls side by side? Would like to try, Zone alarm Pro is not really for nOObies .

I don&#39;t think sygate and zone alarm work naturally together, but maybe with some configuration they will. I recently switched from sygate to zonealarm (because sygate kept refusing another computer access to the internet through my gateway computer), but somehow i forgot to uninstall sygate and when i rebooted, my computer would load windows then restart. Took me a while to figure out hte problem, I&#39;d made some hardware changes when i rebooted and i&#39;d forgotten sygate was still installed so it wasn&#39;t immediately obvious that sygate/zone alarm was the problem.

yeah...i tried that too but sygate and zonealarm just can&#39;t live together in the same comp

once i installed both...they won&#39;t recognise my network card anymore. the ip of my card is 10.0.0.2, but with these two firewalls...the ip became 0.0.0.0. i can&#39;t even go online as a result.

littlestevee, i used to use za pro, but after asking the same question here like you have, most of the replies i got were for sygate, so i switched to sygate which i have found slightly better. if you decide for za pro, you can d/l the free version of zone alarm and then upgrade and then PM me and i will give you a key if you need one

sygate is all u need n get symantec antivirus corp edition n if u update often, ur protected
