Sygate Personal Firwall 5.5

[vkidv]

Hello,

Im having a problem with Sygate Personal Firwall 5.5.
Heres a screenshot of my error:
http://www.improfane.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/pics/myError.PNG

I currently run (BUT DEFINTLEY NOT ALL AT ONCE):
Firewalls
Norton Internet Security 2004
Kerio Personal Firwall 2.15
Zone Alarm 4
Sygate Personal Firewall

AntiVirus
Norton Internet Security 2004 (with Norton Anti virus)
AVG (Grisoft)
BitDefense 7.1

Other Security Software
Proxomitron
Ad-Aware 6
Spybot Search and Destroy
Spyware Blaster
Spyware Guard

I DO NOT run all these products together. As i dont like running just

once for the rest of my computer's life so i run them one at a time and i

change regulary. I enjoy using software so i'd rather switch to get

different features once in a while. And as with Anti-Virus, You can get

better results if you use more than one.

I use this method to make all the above work:
http://www.improfane.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/pics/clp3.png
Thats in Device Maneger (Control Panel>System>

Hardware Tab>Device Manager.)
Then if you click View>Show Hidden Devices you get

another tree spawn with all your computer's product's drivers and
system.
By using this i can control what i want to work and what not :)
I disable the ones i do not want to load = meaning NO conflict :D
==========
But my only error seems to be Sygate :'( it always crashes when im

surfing the web and i ever try give myself a port scan.
Somebody said somthing about LSP networks things, maybe it has

somthing to do with that? Is it another driver like thing for software?

Thanks for reading,
Please help :)

vkidv,

I also test several FWs, but never have more than 1 installed at a time.

Although you do disable all but 1 firewall, you ought to check your running firewall services, which may be set to AUTOMATICALLY run upon Windows startup. If several FW services are enabled, this could explain your prob...

Glad I'm not alone in having security apps. as a hobby. Just bought BOClean to use instead of TrojanHunter and have licenses for 3 firewalls - and I've switched.

Sounds like conflict may be happening, though, with Sygate.

Don't feel bad, I am kind of in the same boat. 2 licenses for ZAP, 1 for Outpost Pro, and 1 for BlackIce. ZAP is great on my 2k machine but the TrueVector causes problems constantly on XP Pro same with Outpost. I am not saying anything bad about either firewall but my XP machine and them don't get along. BID never causes a problem on my XP computer so maybe I'll use it for awhile.
It might be time for a reformat too. Just hate to take the time to do it.

Hi vkidv

Have you tried posting that particular error message on the Sygate Product Forums (http://forums.sygatetech.com/vb/)?

As has been suggested, even though you are only running one firewall at a time, having that many installed could be the source of potential conflicts.

Regards,

I forgot about BlackICE - I have a license for that, too.

Hi,
I know that ZoneAlarm and Sygate are incompatible, read the readme file of ZoneAlarm.

Thanks for such a good reply.
Im Glad that there are people like me who have more than one type of software and like to change :)

I'll post on the sygate forums.

Thanks much for your help :)
