Problem with Zonealarm & Sygate firewall...

go4saket · 30-11-2005, 04:36 PM

Hello Friends!

I am facing a problem with both Zone Alarm 6 and Sygate Firewall.

As for ZoneAlarm, whenever I install this software, I dont know how and why, my system gets stuck. Even if I restart my system, the same thing happens.

As in Sygate, installation is no problem, but as I am using BSNL Broadband connection, my network starts showing "Limited or no Connectivity". I dont understand why this is happening. When I started my Modem (BSNL) for the first time after installing Sygate Firewall, it asked me weather or not to allow this network. I allowed it and still it doesn't allow it.

Please help as to what can be dont to resolve this. Please also suggest me some other good firewall. I am using Win XP SP2.

Thank you.

Norton Firewall is OK, not good nor bad too, but its heavy on resources...

uninstall ur one or more firewalls.

Well frndz, I tried Zone Alarm 5.5 and that installes and works fine. God knows whats the problem with ZA 6. Anyways, can any one resolve my problem with Sygate firewall. Why is it not taking my BSNL modem in a proper way..

Another problem with ZA is that there are a few sites where if you have ZA activated, the websites are not displayed properly. Now is this a problem with the web hosting company or with ZA. As everything seems to be fine with any other firewall, it looks like the problem is with ZA. One of such site is www.heritageofindia.com

If you have ZA installed, all pictures are displayed as no banner pics but its all fine with any other firewall. To test it, try opening the site with ZA activated and than again with ZA disabled. You can see the difference then.
