Onecare Firewall and Vista Ulitmate

[Guest]

This is strange, if I turn on Vista Firewall I can connect to the internet
however if WHENEVER I turn on OneCare, even with default settings, everything
is blocked, i'm on a Private network, its set on Automatic but whenever I use
OneCare boom everything disconnects, even IE and i'm offline... I get a
message every now and then about Policy could be stopping me, but i've looked
in the Policy section in Administration tools and there all at default and
looking good. Also, In the Security Center it says "Two or more firewalls
running at the same time can conflict with each other" but whenever Windows
is off it still happens..

Anyone else having this problem?? If anyone has an idea to this please let
me know, thank you.

I assume that you upgraded from XP with OneCare 1.5 in place. The OneCare team
is actively working to identify the cause of this problem and provide a fix,
either in the form of an update pushed or via a posting on the OneCare forums or
both. The current workaround is to disable the OneCare firewall and enable the
Vista firewall. Do not use the workaround circulating about opening protocols in
the firewall as this will be the same as turning off the firewall for most
Internet traffic, with OneCare reporting that you are protected. Worse, if the
fix is a pushed software update you will remain unprotected until you remove the
rules you added for those protocols.

Thanks Stephen, I was hoping it wasn't a problem on my end because it was
driving me crazy.
