I recommened Sygate Personal Firewall to a friend of mine who recently got DSL. He tells me he can't access Yahoo email unless he disables the firewall. I'm going to look at it tomorrow. Any suggestions? He is using Windows XP Pro.

Hi

Does he have cookies disabled in his browser or cookies blocked on the firewall ? Yahoo mail requires cookies when you log in to Yahoo mail.
