The WIN xp sp2 firewall is a serious waste of time. Aside from the lack
of SPI it does, then you have the issue with it limiting tcp connects to
10 at a time, and so forth and so on, I would uninstall it.

Personally, I'd ditch the Windows firewall and set up your Sygate
firewall
to do whatever you need. Two firewalls on one box might not get along
well...

Hello list,
I have windows XP box used as proxy server for my users, there are two
firewalls on it - first is win XP SP2 native firewall, second is sygate
personal firewall, for additional filtering... There is also aDSL dial
connection to the internet... After I reboot the computer, everything
works
fine...until I log on to the system...then XP native firewall simply
crash
and I can see opened ports, so I have to turn it on manually...from now
on
the firewall remains on, doesn't matter if I log off and log on
again...but
after I reboot the computer and log on, the firewall is switched off
again...can somebody advice...? I seem to be helpless, although I had
any
suspicions of any worms or viruses, but I didn' find any...
