Internet is broadband,going into a D-Link 300T then into my nvidia lan socket. Internet access is not a problem but....... When I have nvidia firewall running I cannot do an online scan at panda,housecall and bitdefender!! It definately messes with their 'digital signatures' aswell. Using a medium setting helps with the digital signatures. No setting allows the definitions to be downloaded,updated etc?? Any ideas? On a side note.... I tried Zone Alarm both security suite and Pro. SS was useless,kept giving a false network address and a wrong one at that? Pro was a bit better but it also would not let me on the net?It was definately blocking inbound access attempts and it was also giving a correct network address. Getting confused?

If it's not allowing certain connections you have to go into the nVidia settings and allow individual sites because the 'medium' - recommended - setting is obviously not being flexible enough. I've only come across one system which uses nVidia firewall so far & my general impression was that it's not as user-friendly as ZA - getting into the Application Table wasn't immediately apparent as far as I recall but once there it was easy enough to see which applications were being blocked & then allowing you to unblock individual ones. Does the motherboard come with much user info on firewall setting up or are you expected to find your own way around? "I know that I'm mad - I've always been mad..."

Expected to find own way around. I will just have to have a deep look and experiment I think. Just downloaded 2 manuals for it so they may help? Thanks for your time. Tt Lanfire MSI K8N Diamond AMD64 3000+'Venice' 1gb pc4400 OCZ Powerstream 520w 6600GT WDCaviar 160gb sata x2 ;~}

If I change the "Active Armour's" 'Offload Default' from "Offload" to "Not Offloadable" this solves the problem. Tt Lanfire MSI K8N Diamond AMD64 3000+'Venice' 1gb pc4400 OCZ Powerstream 520w 6600GT WDCaviar 160gb sata x2 ;~}
