Firewall issues
« on: July 08, 2005, 09:45:08 AM »
Hello! Let me exlpain the story... I installed my modem for my DSL connection, and it worked, but at random moments, it would disconnect for about 1/2 a second, and then jump right back... I just called Verizon, and they thought it COULD be the firewall... So I disabled it... I am using McAfee Personal Firewall Plus... Once I disabled the firewall, this stopped happening... There must be a setting on McAfee that does this... Anyone know what I can try? I don't have a firewall enabled now...  :'(

Are you connected to the Internet..? You may wish to take your own advice and add the Router (Most likely 192.168.1.1) to the trusted zone, if that is possible and not allready automatically configured.

Yes, I am now connected to the internet flawlessly. Also, I do not have a router. Just the modem...

Is the Windows XP firewall enabled perchance?

Yes it is... Is that the problem? McAfee and the Windows Firewall can not be enabled together?!

Actually, becuase I had McAfee, I kind of forgot about the Windows SP2 firewall until now... lol  Anyway... here's the latest... I DISABLED McAfee firewall, and I no longer get kicked off at random moments! One problem... If I re-enable it, it'll do the same thing again... There must eb a setting that mcAfee firewall has that is trying to block the connection or something... Any dieas?

You might look to see if there is some kind of Internet Zone Control Wizard. Norton has one and most likely so does McAfee.

Hey Sidewinder. I found something like that wizard, and changed a few things around. So far, so good. Thanks for the reply guys! I'll keep the status posted should anything happen...  ;D

    So the gay McAfee & Norton are playing with the gay XP firewall? ROTFLMAO!  ;D
    Show them all the closet door and get AVG & Sygate.

    Wait Fed... Take a closer look.... There is no conflict between the software... For some reason McAfee (which is quite gay), is cutting off my connection at random moments for about 1/2 a second. No software conflicts... That was justa theory. lol  I messed with some of the settings, as suggested, and the problem seems to be fixed!  ;D  I think you just misunderstood the problem.  ;)

      Flame, I didn't have to read your problem to know how to fix it.
      Just remember though, when you try to uninstall McAfee and Norton, go to their websites for the special uninstall (virus removal) instructions. I think Norton even has a removal program for it's software (virus).  ;D
