Just a reminder sp2 firewall only stops inbound traffic …not outbound, although it does load before the o.s loads, so in theory, provides protection as the system boots fully into windoze before other add-on software firewalls load.

My opinion (he adds quickly) I don’t rely on it alone. Compatability issues with sp2 firewall and other software firewalls seem to come down to individual machine configurations. Personal opinion here :wink:
