Hey 'Godsplinter',
I am happy it workes out good for you and you have found new toys to play with! Same here, it's lots of fun, isn't it?

New age, new discoveries, new ways of satisfying the ever thirsty human mind.

You seem to be into firewalls, hahaha, 3 at the same time.

I think you can give Blackice defender the slip. It looks and works nice, but is not doing much!?

Zonealarm is very good, but if you feel adventuress get atguard (it is on the gnutella net too), V3.22.11, which was the last version done.
It is already a few years old, and no longer updated.
But the only one I use. And it is GOOD!
And if you google search, you can find a few nice atguard utilites, like an alarm you can set on certain things, and lots more.
It gives just about total control on ICMP, UDP, TCP, Cookies, Java applets and more. Comes with great help screens too.
Others who read this may find this information quite usefull!

Try http://grc.com and test all your firewalls.
They run the best site to see which of your ports are open, closed or STEALTH, - the last one is what you want, for all!
ATGuard does that.

Wrong forum for all this, but hey - sharing is the basic principle of the gnutella net.
