I have used many different firewall programs. Zone alarm, black ice and norton just to name a few. Everyone of them screwed up my systems so bad that I could not send or recieve anything. I couldn't play games, I couldn't host games. I basically couldn't do anything but surf on the net.
I have lots of friends that run firewalls and none of them could help. It just stumped them all. Even after I stopped the firewalls and uninstalled them they still effected me some how. I don't know.
To fix the problem with them I always had to reformat. I'm not going through all that again.
If I could afford a hardware firewall I would at least give that a try.
I have 120 gigs of hard drive space total. I have about 5 to 10 gigs free total. I have lots of big files that I just can't dump onto a CD to make more room.
500 megs to 1 gig of space is a very big deal for me. It won't be for long I hope as a friend just invested in a DVD burner, I should be able to clean off some space once we test the burner out a few times.
I'm going to end up waiting for Half-life 2 for a bit, but I'm considering jumping on the bandwagon to get steam as fast as I can. I have tried to get onto servers before and it said that my wonid was already in use so I know that people have my current sn out there. Since its so low I'm guessing that it was found with a key generator.
I plan on hitting planet half-life as early as I can and update it every few minutes
