Firewall Implementation?

1) It is not recommended. It's like the game of football wherein two players tries to catch the same ball but instead they collide and the opponents get the ball and runs away with it. TOUCHDOWN! :)\n2) Zone Alarm Pro or Outpost (the pay version)\n3) Yup. Update your Windows, antivirus, antispyware, and other security software religiously. Keep doing regular maintenance to your system like cleaning up your Temp and Temporary Internet Files folders, deleting useless files and unused software no longer needed...etc.

If you have windows xp sp2 then you already have a firewall. It is not the best however. You can get a free one by doing a search for free firewalls. Try zonealarm.com which is a popular free one. Don't run two at the same time , if you install zonealarm you must turn off windows firewall protection if you have it.

There are tons of software options - google is your friend there.  Mainly depends on what you have at each site.  For instance, Windows servers all have some sort of software VPN capabilities.\n\nHowever, you can get firewall/routers with VPN endpoint capabilities pretty inexpensively these days.  As an example, the Symantec appliances are simple to use and relatively cheap.  (http://www.symantec.com/small_business/products/security_appliances/sgs300/index.html)  DLink, Linksys and Netgear all have stuff cheaper in the "soho" space as well.  Or spend more and go for Cisco if you have the needs and skills.

what OS (operating system) are you using what type of internet connection and what firewall

you usually login to your router using http://192.168.1.1 or something like that. you can leave the firewall on, but enable port forwarding to do whatever you want to do - p2p for example.

Firewalls are of two types - Software and Hardware.\n1. Software firewall.\nConfigure your firewall to explicitly permit Limewire to access the internet. \nYou might have disabled the firewall, however the firewall will still not permit certain programs on your computer to connect to the internet. \nRefer to the help files of the particular firewall that you are using.\nIf you have Norton Personal firewall, then visit this page, it might help http://symantec.atgnow.com/consumer/resultDisplay.do?gotoLink=16492&docType=1000&contextId=3621%3A16492.16543&clusterName=ConsumerCluster&contentId=1d943175-8a16-429a-bcab-6a83e0adaa97&responseId=a7a613d67668be41%3A1b1fbf4%3A1095aa6b23d%3A-743f&groupId=1&answerGroup=3&score=671&page=http%3A%2F%2Fservice1.symantec.com%2Fsupport%2Fnip.nsf%2Fpfdocs%2F2003120510272036&result=2&excerpt=Configuring+firewall+rules+for+Web-enabled+programs&resultType=5000#\n\n\nIf you have Windows Default firewall, then look up for more information on this page. http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/security/internet/sp2_wfsettings.mspx\n\nIf you have some other type of a firewall, then refer to the help files of that particular firewall.\n\n--x--\n2. Hardware firewall: this type of firewall generally exists in the router / broad band modem. Refer to the help files of the router / modem manufacturer on how to configure firewall to allow exceptions.

If you're using Windows XP, then you can arguably get by with the firewall that's built in.  Info is available here: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/networking/security/winfirewall.mspx\n\nDepending on your network configuration, your DSL Router can also offer some benefits (most hardware routers offer SPI filtering). \n\nIf you have an old computer lying around you can also have it function as a firewall with linux: http://www.coyotelinux.com/products.php?Product=coyote\n\nAgain, it all depends on what you have available and the specifics of your computer.

Use a port scanner. The firewall might block icmp traffic but not other ports / protocolls like file / print shares, web (port 80) and so on...\n\nThere are lots of port scanners out there, one of my favorites because very lightweight and user friendly is SuperScan4\n\nhttp://www.foundstone.com/resources/proddesc/superscan4.htm

You probably are hitting a firewall set up by either the person who had it before you, or the administrator. What type of system do you have and how old are you?

there are 2 kinds of firewalls\n\n1. hardware firewall - Buy a router that acts as a firewall\n2. software firewall - dowload programs that are software firewalls. basically they hide your computers ports and prevent people from accessing your comm ports. you can get a software firewall at www.zonealarm.com

for one if your using a windows pc the firewall supplied is junk. i could hack tht with my dog at the keyboard. get you self a better reputed fire wall like one by symantics. or which ever one you choose. install it an then it should ask you everytime you accses a program tht connect via internet. if you know the program is safe enable it to accese. if you are worried it is nopt then dont let it use the net.
