If I'm using a firewall from another company such as Norton do I need to
turn off the Windows Firewall?

What's the official line on this? Can't find anything anywhere!

Anyone know what's best?


Thanks
 
Hi Paul,

To avoid potential conflicts it is generally best to choose and use only one
firewall product. Most will automatically disable the Windows Firewall on
installation.

Answered in another newsgroup. Please do not send the same message
separately to more than one newsgroup (called multiposting). Doing so just
fragments the thread, so someone who answers in one newsgroup doesn't get to
see answers from others in another newsgroup. And for those who read all the
newsgroups the message is multiposted to, they see the message multiple
times instead of once (they would see it only once if you correctly
crossposted instead).

If you must send the same message to more than one newsgroup, please do so
by crossposting (but only to a *few* related newsgroups).

Please see "What is the accepted way to share a message across multiple
newsgroups?" at http://smjg.port5.com/faqs/usenet/xpost.html
