Hi David,
I don't really know but when a program complains that my fire wall is
blocking the internet I go to control panel and press enter on the Windows
Fire Wall link. Once I got the hang of it is relatively simple to use.
Unfortunately I can get some programs past the windows fire wall but not
through the fire wall in my brother in laws DSL modem. So, Yes I do have two
fire walls. I wish I new which mottle of modem he is running.
God bless,
Mark
God loves you!
