[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1603682"] As pointed out above, turning on the software firewall when you are already behind a hardware firewall can cause very difficult-to-nail-down issues. There's a reason why it is off by default, and that's because there are KNOWN PROBLEMS with doing so. Saying that "well I'm running it and no problems here" is like saying "well I drive home drunk all the time and I've never had an accident." [/QUOTE]
