Hi all,
My norton subs ran out recently and i thought i'd give pcguard a try.
I have the desktop machine which is USB'd to the cable modem and then connected through a hub to a lappy. I can connect to the net on the lappy fine if I disable pcguard on the desktop, but as soon as I enable the firewall it kills the connection on the lappy.
there are system based rules allowing activity on subnet 192.... etc, the application layer gateway shows as an active connection although only as transmits, it doesn't show as receives.
Anyone have any ideas, before I get rid.
cheers in advance
John
