I am having trouble posting messages on another forum I belong to. I can
sign on and read messages but when I try to post a reply to anyone or even
try to start a new thread I get the following message

Object reference not set to an instance of an object

Out of desperation I switched off my personal firewall (CA Internet Security
Suite) and was then able to post messages into the other forum.

I can understand why the firewall is there to stop incoming traffic but what
are the ramifications of disabling the outgoing traffic of the firewall?
