Hi,

I am new to FWalls. I downloaded and installed Outpost (free version),
on a W2K SP4 machine running AOL9.0. Right off, the Outpost alerted me
that svchost.exe and services.exe are trying to gain access.

The svchost.exe was accessing some aol address through a range of
ports (1885 to 1960 ?), so I made up a rule permitting it access to
that range of ports.
I blocked services.exe.

>From then on, I have no problem accessing internet from AOL browser,
but can't access it with IE unless I shut down FW.

Any help / suggestions ?

Thanks !
