158110 2003-07-07 22:50:00 It cant hurt, but may be overkill.

To be honest, most Dial-Up PC's dont need a firewall, but still, playing safe is fine, and you may just have an interesting time setting it up.

I would disable ZA first and setup PC-Cillin, then enable Zone-Alarm :-)

158111 2003-07-08 00:22:00 running dual software firewalls is problematic. its best to run one or he other. considering the pc-cillin one has no application controll i would disable it and use ZA. tweak'e (174)

I recently updated PCCillan from 2000 to 2003 version, I found the filewall extremely difficult to set up, so I went back to Zonealarm.
