I installed Outpost and tested it on grc.com. It worked fine and gave 100% stealth, also the Ad-Blocker was fine. However, after half an hour of using it, my whole internet connection froze. I rebooted, but again after half an hour I was cut off from internet. So I uninstalled it again (not that outpost it is still a release candidate only). Personally I use TinyFireWall (http://www.tinysoftware.com/home/tiny). P.S.: Sorry for the OT mail. -- Best regards Matthias Frost ______________________________________________________________________ � 02.01.2002 � 17:58 [+0100 GMT] � -- ________________________________________________________ Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Latest Vers: 1.53d FAQ : http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com
