Hi there,
I am seeing a strange problem with my system:
Asus K8NE deluxe
Windows XP home and Windows XP 64, xp firewall disabled
Mozilla 1.7 / Firefox / IE
With the Nvidia motherboard firewall enabled (even on low setting), I
get the error message "operation timed out when attempting to
contact..." with certain websites, eg:
www.tesco.com
www.dabs.com
www.insight.com
If I turn the Nvidia firewall off, I can access the websites no problem.
I assume I need to create a rule in the firewall to allow something
through, but am not sure what? There are no entries in the firewall log,
but the information tab shows that some outgoing packets are being blocked.
All I can think to do is install ethereal and try and spot which packets
are getting stopped.
Can anyone suggest an easier option (other than turning off the firewall ?)
Cheers,
Chris.
