But, if you try to install a wireless router, this new firewall doesnt let you access the setup menu, no warning, just a blank screen...no such trouble with the norton firewall which carries on in the background.


Hi all,

Ironically since SP2 was added my Wifi connection has improved tremendously. Admittedly I am not using a router but the adhoc system with two wifi cards, but before SP2 I often had to fiddle around with the settings on both machines in order to get a connection now, 90% of the time it connects straight away.

With regards to Paul's comment about not being able to adjust the settings, if you go down to the bottom of the security center page. these is a line 'manage security settings', double click on windows firewall and all the advanced settings come up. Hope that helps.

Regards

Malcolm Case-Green
