Mmm that is strange.Im not sure whats causing it.I can tell you my
settings which may help as i use 98 too.Ive also done the unbinding
procedure,somaybe if you check my settings against yours we may find
something?.
Im using rules wizard mode
for System>ICMP settings i have default i.e echo reply 0 in ,destination
unreachable 3 in ,echo request 8 out, and time exceeded for a datagram 11
in.All the those are ticked.Under the system tab i have "stealth.Do not
notify source via ICMP message " ticked (dotted)I have "allow netbios
communication unticked (not dotted)
For global application and system rules >settings i have
Allow dns resolving ticked (ive put my isps dns addresses there rather
than use any one)
Allow outgoing DHCP ticked
allow inbound identification unticked
allow loopback unticked
allow gre protocol ticked
allow pptp control connection ticked
block remote procedure call (tcp)ticked
block remote procedure call (udp)ticked
block server message block protocol (tcp) ticked
block server message block protocol (udp) ticked
deny unknown protocols ticked
That the settings i have using the pro and i believe they are the same
for the free.If you already have those settings , im at a loss to to know
why it doesnt work.But maybesomeone at the forum could give an answer
