I have had too many firewalls screw me over so badly that I have had to reformat my system to get things working again.
They wouldn't let me see any websites even after I tell them that the website is good. I couldn't get my e-mail or anyhting. Basically I couldn't do anything that delt with connecting to the net.
I know how to use firewalls. I have many friends that use firewalls no problem. None of them could figure out why I was having problems.
I could shut down the firewall and it would still be causing the problems and even uninstall the firewalls and still problems. But I didn't have any connection problems before installing the firewalls.
I've tried black ice, zone alarm, norton firewall and at least 2 or 3 others. Everyone of them gave me problems.
