XP firewall is virtually useless.  Nvidia's is not a normal software
firewall, it operates as a hardware function of the southbridge; and
intercepts before windows deals with it based on the settings you program
in.

The "high" security "anti-hacking" options take too much tweaking, IMHO, but
one of the other options (default configuration, I believe it is) is very
good.

Subject: [H] NVidia firewall

What is the best setting for the NVidia firewall for those of us who don't 
want to be bothered by messages everytime we try to access the Internet?

Is anti-hacking worth using, or is it better to just use the Windows
firewall?
