Firewall recs?

[edit 1]

I can go on LJ now! =D I downloaded the free version of ZoneAlarm, was going to turn off NIS (leaving only antivirus on) and run ZA... then thought oh well, I might as well try using both at the same time and it WORKS! I can read my flist! *w00t* So I'm not losing any protection yet still able to use LJ now.

[edit 2]

Ok so this is like really weird, and I'm sure it has got nothing with the reboot. I just turned off ZA and am running NIS only again... and I can still go on LJ! *freaks out*

And oh you know? Because both Arith and I were cranky tonight, we wrote cranky Fuji and cranky Tezuka. Afterwards we felt a LOT better. *pets Fuji and Tezzie* Otsukareta~~~

Mine works.

Except it stops animation from time to time. I just close it and restart it. I'm used to it, so it's no big deal. It does not stop anything but animation... It freezes them from time to time...

It works! It works! =D

I just downloaded ZoneAlarm (free version) and am now running it alongside NIS. I was going to use ZA and turn off NIS but thought oh well, I'd give it a try and now I can go on LJ!

Oh and about animation, I had the same problem, usually it goes away after refreshing. I have no idea if it had anything to do with firewalls though...

sometimes resetting everything clears up a lot of problems

turn off everything, comp, hub, router, DSL/Cable box (in that order) then turn everything after 1 minute in reverse order from how you turned it off.

I was having problems a while ago seeing changes in my router until i just reset everything.

I did something like that just today ^^" since I had to reboot after installing things. But oh well it's all working now after I installed another firewall :) Thanks for the tip though!
