Title: firewall?
Post by: clydeb11 on May 11, 2004, 01:45:05 AM

in windows xp i can enable a firewall under network connections. i'm also using a za firewall. does it make sense to enable the firewall in windows xp if i'm already using the za firewall?

hi clydeb11...
no, it's not necessary and may even cause conflict between the two. I also use XP with the firewall disabled and use ZA instead.

welcome to the forums :)
