I was thinking of trying the h/w firewall on my board since my software firewall has now expired. I took a look at the nvidia forums and it seems a lot of people are complaining about it. Is anyone here using the nvfirewall stuff? Any issues I should know about before attempting it?
I had problems with a friends PC using this on LAN, FarCry wouldnt find any local servers, disabled it and it worked fine :P
That was on an nForce 3 board. Only experience i've had with it however.
I found the NV firewall a pain, after a bit of configuring it now works like a dream. Give it a go. All my games have there own filter rules in the custom profile i setup.
NOTE: When i first got the bored i had alot of problems caused by impompatablity with it and SP2. Keep your windows up to date and it should be fine.
Thanks for the advice gents... Im thinking that Ill give it a miss(!) Seems it can be a little bit unstable and I dont want to have to spend hours messing around with it all <too lazy, plus there's Splinter Cell to be played!>
