Firewall

I never had this kind of problem. But if have problem with proxy then you can try some proxy site like kproxy.

I used Zonealarm for a long time because it was really good, however I updated my virus checker to one which had a firewall attached and had to remove it because you shouldn't have two firewalls running at the same time. Most firewalls have a facility for you to add trusted sites to it to allow you to use these sites, but make sure that you enter the site names correctly. There are a number of rogue sites which have very slight changes of name or a different suffix. One example of this was 'Whitehouse.com' which the U.S. government had accidentally some links to, instead of 'Whitehouse.gov' which is the official White House site. I would suggest that you block Whitehouse.com as this is a site you wouldn't want to visit. In this day and age you shouldn't turn your firewall off unless updating it.

Hi, I've had somewhat same experience with firewalls. Try to get ZoneAlarm firewall; it is the most easy firewall to configure( I'm saying allowing certain sites which you use and programs that you want to access ) and yet stay protected.You might have bought a license so might not wanna buy new software. Why don't you let me know the name of the firewall, maybe I could help you a bit more. I'll check back to the post if i see this article again. Hehe, I'm too lazy to copy the link of the post and save. Hehe

My firewall dont block a site i used a lot because i put it on my exclusion sites that the firewall will give it access. See firewall from windows and firewall from the antivirus you have in your computer. like mcafee has its own firewall, that is the example. even if you closed your firewall in your windows. you have another firewall from your antivirus. but not all anti virus have the firewall included in its software.

I was told by our cable company not use my a firewall.I have high speed internet.So,I don't use it.I do know it will stop alot of programs from working.I just run ccleaner every other day to scan for issues and fix them or I run my disk cleaner,this is before I shutdown my computer for the day.Also,you can scan your cdrive for errors and fix them.That's my 2 cents.

FIREWALL. A FIREWALL can be integrated collection of securites measures desighened to prevent unauthorised electronics to a networked computer system. it is also device or set of devices configured to permit,deny,encrypt,decrypt,or proxy all computer traffic between different domains based upon a set of rules and other criteria. Firewalls can be implemented in both hardware and software,or a combination of both. firewalls are frequently used to prevent unauthorised internet users from accesing private nrtworks connected to the internet,especially intranets. REGARDS.

katsmeow1213, Have you considered going into the firewall software's control panel to configure it to accept access into the various sites? If you are unfamiliar, then try to enable block alerts so that when the software is blocking the sites and seeking your permission, you can enable it and resolve your inaccessibility issues. Hope that this will be of help. Have a nice day.

I have never had that problem before. I would be annoyed too if I were in your position. That is really bad if your firewall is even blocking gmail. I guess you just have to be careful what you do with your firewall turned off until your husband can fix it.

Do you use the firewall that comes with windows or are you referring to a third party firewall? I'm using the windows firewall and it works perfectly. There should be something in the configuration settings area of your firewall that allows you select which sites to allow through, this can also be carried out in Internet Options. Anyway, good luck, I hope this works for you. Andrew

I am very sure that my firewall does block alot of things, as I am not very computer literate and I am in the learning stages of money making sites and talking through mylot, facebook, and other sites I have heard alot about firewalls blocking things ....I know it is for the safety of the computer so I cant complain, and for right now I am not sure what I am missing as I started to really put my time in on the computer this year. good luck with yours and I hope you get it figured out. happy mylotting.

firewall programs are doing these kinds of faults but as far as i know it s easy to arrange it. you can open the limits put on your sites. also, it is about twhich firewall program you re using.

Maybe because of your configuration, or something is going wrong; because my firewall is doing great
