What is the best firewall for gaming/file sharing?

[Worked4me]

Hey provoko,

You are correct the free version of Zone Alarm does NOT
allow port configuration.

I have been using and highly recommend Zone Alarm PRO.
This version allows port forwarding, program access to the
LAN and/or the internet, Trusted Zones for a LAN, and
as you asked you can allow your machine to ICMP ping reply.

Let us know if you need info on setting Zone Alarm PRO
up it's really pretty easy.

I would say, don't use software firewalls, go with a linksys router that has a built in firewall if your looking for better security.

Better gameing

Shut down everything and have more fun with your offline games.
It just isn't needed in my opinion,i don't use one.
