    I've been using the free version of ZoneAlarm for as long as I can remember :) .... never had a problem with it.

    don't use a sofware firewall. I'm behind a Cisco PIX firewall.

    I used both my wireless router's firewall and ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite.

    Zonealarm is prob. up there, but it has problems when you try to create a network. I set up all the permissions, and I still couldn't connect to other computers. If anyone has a solution, I'd be glad to hear it...

    Nvm, I'm just retarded: I had my NIC in the "internet" zone instead of the "trusted" zone. Now everything works great. One more rec for zonealarm!
