Ive been going ape$h!t with this one.
After some bsods with the nvidia firewall and reading all the problems people are having i decided to use the zone alarm freebie.
With zone alarm, my system hangs on login when it is "loading my settings". the only way to get into windows was to disable both network interfaces on the mobo (asus a8n sli delux).
I disabled the onboard network interfaces, added an SMC nic and got the same results with the nic.
Frustrated, downloaded Sygate and tried it with the SMC nic.
The taskbar icon for the network connection reported something to the effect that it was not working properly and sure enought it wasnt.
I tried setting Sygate to allow all traffic, still didnt work.
I tried shutting down Sygate, still didnt work.
I uninstalled Sygate and the nic works.
Still havent tried it with the onboard network interfaces.
Am I missing something?
Do these firewalls have issues with giganics with the frame size set to the max size?
I havent found anything on the net about it.
