Can anyone recomend a freeware firewall for windows Vista. The ones I
have tried Comodo, Kerio,PC plus firewall, etc have Driver
compatability issues. Some even lock up computer. Any ideas?

PC Tools Firewall Plus is the only Vista compatible freeware firewall that
is not beta-ware. I've used it on both Vista and XP, and it works OK. It
is "rules based" and in my case it was necessary to add a few rules, but it
was eventually sorted out.

I used pc tools plus and it completely locked puter up, had to go into
safe mode to get piuter running again. I know there is a builn
firewall, but its difficult to set up to monitor outgoing traffic
Thanks for all coimments, maybe i'll try a bit harder to get the built
in firewall running properly

There's a program called "Vista Firewall Control" that adds functionality to the built-in firewall that you might find useful. Checkout this link:
