Although the freeware version of Sygate is no longer supported, it's still a good firewall.
You can find a link to the last freeware version here, along with a few other freeware firewalls, under the heading, Firewalls: Freeware Replacements For Common Commercial Apps -------------------- I love being married.
It's so great to find that one special person you want to annoy, for the rest of your life. |

Just my 2 cents but do you have an Antivirus installed. As some have a compatible firewall with them.
By the way some free AV 's HERE -------------------- Can you spare some PC cycles to help FIND A CURE .. BC FOLDING TEAM Click me /info..

Yep, Boopme, I am running AVG anti-virus.
Using tg's link, I downloaded Sygate personal, disabled the WinXP firewall and am ready to run off to the coast and see what happens out there in the wi-fi world. Thanks, folks.
