I was thinking just now it would be good if there was say a xml or similair port / application setup file which was replicatable on multiple firewalls.

Guess that might cost the developers perhaps? I am not sure. In terms of security though it may be a good thing.

147195 2003-05-26 22:07:00 Looks good on paper, but if your not running a very standard setup I would stay away from .

I installed on my PC last night and it killed XP X-(, XP would start and then restart just as it asked for a username and password .

I traced it to the VPN client (check point SecuRemote service) installed on both my network and dialup adapters, which I use when I work from home .

In the end recovered from backup

Oh well back to Zone Alarm . ;\

147196 2003-05-26 22:13:00 Bugger, thats no good. Perhaps you should pass it on to www.agnitum.com for product improvement? Captive (3159)
147197 2003-05-27 00:13:00 Filled in the online form this morning,

I feel a bit let down as I downloaded the full manual and it looks a heap better than Zone Alarm .

Hope they do something about it!!!

147198 2003-05-27 01:07:00 Yeah, oh well, maybe they can fix it fairly soon.....

Imoo [In my own opinion] its better than zonealarm, well for me, too in terms of firewall rule ability, speed of loading, easier to understand interface.... although I am no computer expert, just an entry level tech and someone testing out whats on the market.

Im sure Win2K is already onto SP3 with SP4 being released within the next few months, have you tried installing the newer patches?

147200 2003-05-27 02:11:00 Well I'm a network manager for A very large publishing company and it looks like the best Software based Firewall programs I seen since the first editions of ZoneAlarm came out in 98-99

Its a bugger as we're looking at upgrading our laptop fleet at the moment and I would like to put a good firewall program on each (I liked that Outpost can run as a service and be hidden from the users)

But our VPN connection must use the VPN-1 software (no way round)

Hopefully that can fix it (if they do it would probably mean at least 50 sales!!)

147201 2003-05-27 02:17:00 Hello again...

hmm well I am no expert on business but perhaps you should mention that you are looking at converting a large number [maybe outlining quantity] of machines to there paid[?] [ie version 2] of the product and that might give them even more incentive?

Or perhaps you already have *shrug*

147202 2003-05-27 02:47:00 Yep I said that, but in my experience so many people say this to get there things action quicker that most Business don't believe you now.

147203 2003-05-27 07:14:00 Good point. You could indicate in some form of contract if they were to modify it you would be x amount of copies but then it's really dependant on the contract and it can get messy i guess *Shrug* Captive (3159)
