This newbie is having trouble getting Kerio 4.1.2 to work properly... When enabled it blocks ALL access to the internet. If I disable the firewall (or uncheck 'Enable Network Security Module'--maybe the same thing), traffic flows fine.



Version 4.0.16 worked fine. The XP-SP2 firewall is OFF.



Has anyone had a similar experience? Is there anything I could tweak that isn't obvious?



Thanks in advance

Many people would agree with that statement I'm afraid...

From grc.security.software :

"I did everything... removed the folders from Program Files, wiped every instance of Kerio (except the MRUs) from the registry and still each time I installed 4.1.2 in either Simple or Advanced mode, it blocked all inbound traffic for applications like Firefox and Thunderbird. I did manage to get it to run a Time Server application and Nslookup, and to ping my router.

So I confirm your findings, can't offer a solution or workaround."

In several days of trying, I have yet to find anyone who has been able to solve this problem. I've actually been trying Outpost Firewall for a couple of days; there is much about it I like. I may have found my replacement for NIS 2005!

I recently installed Windows 98 fresh on a computer and then installed Kerio 4.12, then AVG Free antivirus. Then plugged the 100mbit internet.

I could not by any trick och method finish a windows update, or even download a ie6sp1-setup from microsoft.

After rebooting 2 or 3 times and had the AVG turned off with no progess I got tired and uninstalled 4.12 and hooked the computer with the old 2.15. Worked as well as it always does with 2.15.

Why did they make that s***ty firewall 4.12? They should have stayed pro and continued to develop 2.15 instead I think.
