damien;
Free firewall. Go here:
http://www.grisoft.com/us/us_dwnl_free.php
After you download, install and run AVG, turn off Windows ICF.
Never go on-line without a firewall running. In a few minutes bad things
can happen.

AVG is Anti-Virus from Grisoft, not a firewall.

Kent;
You are correct. Thank you for pointing out my error. I screwed up.
Maybe this would be a better firewall:

Damien;
I don't know if it will conflict or not. Disregard the AVG link. I
included the WRONG link. I screwed up. You should be fine with your Norton AV.
Free firewall. Go here:
http://www.zonelabs.com/store/conten...eeDownload.jsp
Try the above link, it is a link to an actual firewall.
Hope this helps a little more than my first post. Sorry for the mistake.

Kent;
Yes, they are good products. The old saw that says, "You get what you pay
for.", is not always true. I hope I didn't mess Damien too much.

It's easy to slip up like that and you corrected it pronto. Anyone who
googles it without reading the whole thread runs the risk of being
confused, but that's the way news works. Keep plugging away at the posts
