SP2 Firewall Settings when Zone Alarm is in use

[John Butler]

I was fortunate that I ha no problems installing SP2 except that my internet
connection was blocked. i expected that the new Window firewall would do
something like this and I went to the Security Centre [Run wscui.cpl]
\Firewall\Advanced and disable the firewall for my broadband connection.

My internet connection was then enabled and Zonealrm working OK.

Has anyone suggestions for the best way to configure the Security Centre if
Zone Alarm and Norton Anti Virus Professional are active on a system?
BTW I prefer ZA to the windows Firewall becase the latter does not monitor
or control out ward connections.

set your preferences in the security center (if zone alarm is recognized by
xp).

or you can do what i do. disable the security center completely (run >
services.msc > set to disabled).
