I have dumped ZA and tried Outpost, but won't comment on it at the
moment. Currently I have Sygate running. It seems to do the job OK, but
there are quite a few popup messages that I can't understand. For instance:
"Win32Kernel core component is trying to broadcast to [239.255.255.250].
Do you want to allow this program to access the network?" A whois
search refers to Internet Numbers Assignment Authority, and amongst the
jargon that is dispayed is the following:-
"This block is reserved for special purposes.
Please see RFC 3171 for additional information."
To be honest, I have no idea what the Win32kernel component is, what is
meant by 'broadcasting' and more importantly whether I should give
permission or not? Is there a general rule for these messages from Sygate?
Any help would be appreciated, thanks
Rick.
