Help - Firewalls & Proxy
Does anyone know anything about Firewalls? I have 2 computers on a network in my house. And for some reason I can't connect to Kazaa on one of them, but the other one connects fine. I have other problems too, for instance im unable to create a Counter-Strike server and get people to connect... I have trouble receiving files over icq...a whole bunch of things. Obviously something isnt set right.
Can anybody help me out?
thanks.

Is it a HUB, or is it a ROUTER? A router will have a built-in firewall.
Also, what OS are you running? If you are running WindowsXP it also has a built in firewall that may need to be disabled before those things may work. To disable the built-in firewall:
Start menu, Connect To, Show All Connections, Local Area Connection, Properties, Advanced, and make sure that box that says "Protect my computer..." is UNCHECKED.
Hope this helps...

A hub has a "public" IP address for each computer on the network, as opposed to a private IP address (generally 192.168.0.1xx if automatically assigned by a DHCP server) on a router. A router has the public IP address that is assigned by the ISP (something like 4.65.102.xxx) or your computer has what is called a "static IP" where in your TCP/IP properties for your NIC you have an assigned IP address, DNS server, WINS server, etc.
