    I purchased LnS and I must say I really
    like it. I have used the thread here to
    set it up with the enhanced rule set also.

    My question is, I am running a Linksys
    WRT54G wireless router (not using the wireless)
    and I have had no problems at all with LnS, so
    do I need to follow the thread on how to
    setup LnS using a router?

    The main reason I am asking is, every few days
    after running a Speakeasy speed test I am
    getting a Windows error. I did a reformat on
    this box a few days ago, and after I finished,
    thats when I loaded LnS. The reformat went
    just fine, so this isn't a botched Windows XP Pro
    SP2 install.

    I did not document the error message, I will the
    next time it happens. I did, however, look at
    Event Viewer (system) and it showed event # 8032

    I am thinking that maybe running LnS behind the
    Router might be causing this?

    Sorry for the long post, but I'm kind of concerned
    about this.

    Thanks for any help or tips!

    Hi,
    No you don't need to apply this post if it already works.

    Not sure this problem is related to Look 'n' Stop.
    Did you try a google search with "event viewer 8032". There may be some interesting results.
    No problem, not so long actually ;)

    Thanks Frederic!

    I have done some research on Event ID 8032.
    It has to do with the browser, which in my case
    is IE. After reading and looking at the LnS setup,
    I have found this setting under advanced options.

    Clicking on protocols then into protocols configuration,
    I see that there are two items allowed.
    TCPIP.SYS & NETBT.SYS

    Could the NETBT.SYS be the culprit?

    Network as in file and print sharing? Yes

    One other thing, I had installed the file
    and print share rule when I set up LnS.
    But I did not set up networking in windows
    untill yesterday. Also I have not had the
    windows error since setting up networking
    on this computer.

    Could having the sharing rule in LnS without
    the computer being set up for networking
    have caused this?

    I suppose NETBT is allowed, so the problem should not be there.

    No I don't think so.

    If Look 'n' Stop is not started at all (but still installed), do you encounter this error event ?

    Frederic, I have not had the error
    since setting up my network on this
    computer.
    I will post back if the error occurs
    again. Like I said in my previous post,
    I had the file and print sharing rule
    installed in LnS without networking
    configured on this computer. I am
    thinking this might have caused my problem,
    since it has not happend again.
    Only time will tell, I guess!

    Thanks for all of your help, I am very
    happy with this firewall:)
