(i connect initially and begin downloading and then suddenly they all start failing.) what type of firewall can i install to keep them from seeing what ports i am connecting to but will still allow me to download/upload? (if this will solve the problem that is.) do you know anything about Zone Alarm Pro 3? also, what if i connect through linksys? then they shouldn't be able to see right? thanks so much! | A firewall will not keep your ISP from seeing what ports you are using, that information has to pass through their system and is part of each communication ... the firewall is a tool to keep unauthorized folks from accessing your computer ... |
