Hello Group:
I toss out my old NT4 installation. I installed W2K in its place. This is on
a separate hard drive in my pc.
As soon as I finished installing the OS I installed the AV and FW. The first
thing I received was a reminder to purchase a new copy, then services.exe
requested access to the net. I denied it. When I looked in the firewall
activity there it was the infamous:
"McAfee Firewall caused an exception c0000005 at offset 4017c3 in CPD.EXE
(FwMon_SocketClosed). If this condition is repeatable and prevents McAfee
firewall from operating properly, please report the details of the exception
to McAfee Technical Support."
There was no other software installed, not even a service pack or any
Windows update, so it must not be related to that.
What is it?
Run a test for me on your FW4:
First empty your filter window. "Remove this program from the list" is
called in my version.
1- Unplug net. Stop your firewall and then start it again. Connect Net.
Allow only the browser, check for internet access and the exception.
2- Unplug net. Stop and Start firewall. Connect Net. Allow any other service
that request access, make sure you exclude services.exe and allow the
browser, check for internet access and the exception
3- Unplug net. Stop and Start firewall. Connect Net. Allow service.exe and
browser. Check for net access and error.
You must stop/start the firewall to begin each test. Please post results.
thank you.
