Sygate 5.6.2808 vs Win98 SE

So you already have your solution. Make sure you don't have file and printer sharing installed, and you don't need a personal firewall anyway.

hi occam i tried Segate Personal firewall 5.5 pro for long time here is my openion:

My openion Zone Alarm pro is the Best search google for "firewall reviews"

there is some guy called Sapastian"if i spelt his name correctly", he will say ZoneAlarm is a toy not a firewall, well, tell him what is better? and he will shut up. bye

By the way new version of ZoneAlarm, don't support 98, 98SE, or me just try to use XP+sp2 itis better see ya, luckyboy

I run v5.5 but 5.6 may be the same Look on main page under security therre are three options; block all normal allow all see where its set Casey

That is why Symantec discontinued Sygate.

Ron ;)

See if you can find the 5.5 version (someone posted a link earlier). I don't think Symantec(sp?) really had a chance to work all of the kinks out of 5.6.

They kept saying that the fixes; enhancements would be in the next release, and AFAIK, there was no next release.

I tried 'normal', I tried 'allow all' AND I tried disabling (stopping) Sygate altogether. I suspect something more fundamental - e.g. conflict with Kaspersky?

I have 'printer sharing' disabled, but I need file sharing, as this is my laptop, which connects with 'mother-ship' and exchanges files / updates.

And that is why I installed it. Anything that's not good enough for Symantec is OK by me (and vice versa) ;-)

Thanks for the links. I installed v.5.5 2710 and ... same reaction. Merde alors! (excuse my French). I am slowly resigning to adopting

If you have more than one computer in the network, better have a filtering device between your LAN and the Internet.

Please be more verbose. What and where is this "mothership", and when do you need the ability to exchange files with it?

And please do not e-mail your reply in addition to posting it. I am reading this group.

He said he had a "portable", so this is probably not an option.

If you found yourself receiving e-mails in your personal account, it's because some of your earlier headers were directed to you, even when "replying to the newsgroup" was selected.

I think, it is an option. And, when his portable is not in the home network, he can stop file sharing.

Next time check MID before trying to be a smartass. I did not set a followup to poster in that posting, so the person who replied to me apparently hit "reply-all" instead of "reply" in his Thunderbird, causing his answer to be posted to the group as well as being e-mailed to me.

In I had explicitly set (and announced) a followup to poster.

Please learn how Usenet works before trying to lecture people on that matter.

F'up2p set.

While my earlier statement, regarding Germans and manners, still holds, it apparently had nothing to do with you.

You're an asshole, all on your own.

Notan

Look buster, it's not my fault that you made an ass of yourself, because your attempt on being a smartass backfired.

Oh, well. You're just another proof that any address-munging idiot can safely be killfiled right away.
