2 computer type question thingy's

[Rude Dog]

1) Wheres the XP firewall located? I want to check its on.
2) Why doesnt my history delete when i click on it. I have to delete files and cookies as well and even then it doesnt always do it.
3) Why does Norton firewall not come on automatically anymore
and
4) When did I lose the ability to count :rolleyes:

Edit: And when did I lose my ability to post in the right section :annoyed:
Can someone move it to somewhere more appropriate please :rolleyes:
And that doesnt mean the bin Mods :p :D

XP firewalls in control panel/network connections.... right click your connection icon and hit propertys,you'll find it on the advanced tab tick/untick for on and off

1) go to the section for network connections in your control panel and choose properties for the network device you use to connect and choose properties and it should be under advanced...

2) Because you are a sick puppy :p

3) Because its shite. :indiff:

4) Probably at an early age...

Moved to non 200 btw :p

Cheers, one down some to go :thumbs:
It wasnt on BTW. Why cant MS just set the default to on for fools like me :confused:

is the xp firewall actually any good? I'm running another firewall anyways, is it worth running both? Could this be why i'm always having problems with slow downloads etc?

Some say its good others dont. My philosophy is its there so use it. I had less bugs on my old PC with just AVG and XP firewall than I have got on the new PC with a new upto date Norton antivirus and Firewall. Must load :nod: AVG again

everything is definitely running quicker! Want to try a d/l to see what sort of rate i end up with, as i've had difficulty receiving files recently. Wander if thats why, running 2 firewalls

Its not usually a good idea to mix 2 firewalls on the same PC, as it is also very bad practice to use 2 or more virus checkers. Zonealarm is free and does the job fine :)

I'm running zonealarm and have turned the xp one off - so i take it thats a good thing then?

Internet connection seems soooo much faster
