I just installed Sygate Personal Firewall, and it keeps popping up a box telling me it has blocked ipnat.sys. It also happens for ntoskrnl.exe. I can't figure out why, because I have it set to Normal (ask) security level, and it's never asked me about these programs. In the application list they're both listed as "allow".
