Originally, that was true......and you may have, or heard it from 
Mike.  The issue isn't the same now.  The issue now is that MS SP2 may 
render various firewalls unusable.   That's different than choosing 
between MS firewall and another competitor.

   | It's interesting to me that MS is trying to roll out it's own

   | and Outpost.

   |   | =3D3DPCTechTalk=3D3D- SP2 Firewall question
   |   |
   |   |
   |   |   | Good morning.
   |   |   | I installed XP SP2 yesterday and everything ran well.
   |   |   | Didn't have any problems with programs that I use.
   |   |   | However, last night the backup from
   |   |   |
   |   | our
   |   |   | server failed because the server could not connect to
   |   |   | my pc.  This was because of the SP2 Firewall.
   |   |   | However, I had ticked that the firewall was supposed
   |   |   | to display a
   |   |   | notification when the firewall blocks a program, but
   |   |   | it didn't. If it had I could have told it to allow the
   |   |   | connection.  We use Arcserve to perform the backup
   |   |   | every night.  Has anyone else had a similar problem?
   |   |   | Thanks.
