Firewall and pocket pc connection problems!

[Barak]

Well, as a cable modem user, I got nailed with that w32blast.exe virus that's going around the world :bangin: I have used Zonealarm in the past, but it would prevent me from synching my Casio E-200 with the desktop.

I really need a firewall now, but am unsure what to get or how to configure so that it doesn't interrupt my ppc use.

Any suggestions???

Thanks

I use zonealarm and can sync my 5550 with my desktop wirelessly and with the cradle no problem. It may help to go to "Firewall" and "Zones" in Zonealarm and change your ethernet card to "Trusted" zone. It also helps to disable the windows firewall (control panel, network connections, right click your network card, properties, advanced, deselect firewall). Your network setup might be different than mine (I'm running my desktop off a Linksys router/access point connected to my cable modem) so this may not work but it's worth a try.
