With vista & win7 I use the windows firewall coupled with the router. On GRC site it shows no leaks & the same stealth. Good enough for me anyway

792490 2009-07-18 04:44:00 True (altho any FW will nag you). It wouldnt be a FW if it didnt. Since i've been on BB, I've never bothered with a firewall either (on 3 of the PC's here). The router's is good enough. Speedy Gonzales (78)
792491 2009-07-18 04:50:00 I found that with comodo installed, it turned installing software into nagging fest nightmare, even in installation mode.
If I want nagging I only have to try & amuse the wife with some of my toilet level humour lol

Okay I've fixed the problem of the firewalls. But does anyone have any suggestion on what could be slowing one of the computers down by 13mbps?
They all use identical Linksys WUSB100 N adapters and are similar distance to the router.

The specs of the faster pcs range from:
2 - 2.6 CPU
1 - 2 RAM
80 - 160gb HDD

and the slower one has:
1.6 CPU
384mb RAM
40gb HDD

Router: www.linksysbycisco.com


Also now you mention, Comodo being difficult I'd love a change - it has a red alert for every .exe it finds!
What free firewall is better?

792494 2009-07-19 04:26:00 Thats not normal, a red alert for every .exe?

There's ZoneAlarn and Kerio, but they're really unneeded, Windows FIrewall + Routers NAT FIrewall is more than enough, as long as you're doing nothing dodgy on the web.

Try reinstalling the drivers for the N adapter.
