| 116089 | 2003-01-23 05:39:00 | Does anyone know of a free personal firewall that supports running on a win98 Internet Connection Sharing gateway? I've tried Outpost, Tiny and Sygate so far, and none of the others I've looked at seem to support it either. |

| 116090 | 2003-01-23 06:41:00 | I have just switched from Outpost to Kerio as Kerio supports ICS. It is free and works well on my Win 98 and Win XP computers. Get it from www.kerio.com |

| 116091 | 2003-01-23 10:07:00 | most pro versions support it. i think kerio is one of the few free ones that do. i couldn't get outpost pro to work with ICS, however that could have been just my system. | tweak'e (174) | ||
| 116092 | 2003-01-23 22:01:00 | I grabbed a copy of kerio (which looks an awful lot like Tiny) and enabled "running on internet gateway" but it still is blocking ICS. I can ping by IP and hostname, but all other traffic is blocked. Is there something I've missed? I don't really want to pay for a pro version when all I really use it for is to block windows filesharing. |

| 116093 | 2003-01-23 22:16:00 | otherwise just use ZA free and lower the sicurity to allow ics to work. | tweak'e (174) | ||
| 116094 | 2003-01-24 00:02:00 | There is quite possibly something you have missed but I don't know what because Kerio is a little on the "advanced" side for a firewall to me. It took me a bit of time to get it working but I was just missing the "running on internet gateway" option -- once that was ticked I was away. Sorry, I can't offer any more advice other than to go through all the settings with a fine-toothed comb and try different things. |

| 116095 | 2003-01-25 00:40:00 | I don't think it likes my network setup. I've done a clean install of everything network related. [A million reboots reboots later... ] and it now blue screens as soon one of the other systems tries to access the internet, followed by many complains from the firewall about a lack of a buffer. But it doesn't matter because ICS seems to have closed the windows filesharing ports to the outside world which is all I wanted. |
