nForce4 firewall

on any setting but "antyhacking only", i can't use windowx xp remote desktop
when using nvidia activearmor firewall. any ideas?

You have to enable the port for this service, or just disable the firewall
when actually using remote desktop (easiest option).

No you have to unistall that stupid firewall and install some other like
zone alarm and all will work just fine. I perssonaly hate that stupid
firewall and I still can't figure out how is that it consumes less procesor
power when it has like 5-6 diferent proceseces runing in the same time and
zone alarm has 2 !!!???

ZA is what i could call a stupid firewall

Its very simple, *amount* of processes/threads arent equal to cpuload.
5000 processes can easely give less load than 1.
The nv firewall utilizes hardware specifically written for it, and thereby
reduces cpuload further.

I know its offtopic in here, just wanted to get some facts straight.

This episode is called: "an elephant ****s a pig".
But the networks had it changed to "an elephant makes love to a pig".
Which is kind of silly, because if an elephant was on top of the pig,
it wouldnt be making love to it, it would be ****ing it ! [Trey Parker]

Maby you call it stupid one but the fact is, which you can verify on your
own, that is one of the best software firewall out there and not only by my
opinion but the major software sites !

Did you read any of the documentation?

The key words are "separate firewall processor." It runs on a separate
processor. Not on the CPU. So it does not matter how many things it is
doing, it does them entirely without impacting the CPU at all.

Try to understand superior technology before misadvising others to
condemn it.

The nvidia firewall works great, better than any program run on the same
cpu.

Yeah, and all I see is people in newsgroups complaining about this and
that not working, and the solution is all too often to get rid of ZA.
It is a frigging liablity.

Well, it doesn't:

The Nvidia Firewall is shredding ftp data. I don't know if Nvidia
already fixed that, though...

But I agree that so-called Firewalls that run on the same computer
usually are crap. The best solution is still a stateful inspection
firewall in a separate hardware device (i.e. in a broadband router, or a
separate device like a PIX)...

It will presumably have lower CPU utilization than other software
firewalls. However it is still likely more trouble-free to use a
separate broadband router to provide firewall protection.

The NVIDIA firewall has been problematic/buggy for many people.
