Er, sorry abt. the multiple posts. I'm still getting the hang of Windoze...after--what?--ten years. I guess Mr. Gates is too.

It is. I am using it now. The great thing about sygate vs. wingate is that you don't need to touch anything with sygate. Just get you LAN going first, i.e. netbuei and such, so that you can ping both machines, and don't touch anything else. Especially microsoft internet connection sharing, don't touch it or you'll be sorry. just install sygate and it'll work default. -bron "Stephen Smith" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:1Mo78.27274$[email hidden]... > Is there something I should know abt. getting SyGate to work with Win ME, > like turning off ME's faux proxy server settings?

Concensus seems to be my SyGate ver is outta date (they oughta put an expire date on the packaging, like on milk cartons) if I want it to work w. ME. I've got 3-something; I need 4-something. I love the product, hate the company. To buy it outright: $40; to upgrade: $60; a logical biz plan: priceless.... Plus, they're unbelievably rude on the phone (in the odd instances when a human even deigns to answer the call) and never, ever respond to emails.

I had equal success joining races running ZoneAlarm and Sygate PF, but neither product let me host races. I now run Tiny PF. It's harder to learn, but has been the least problematic once setup and I can now host races with the firewall still running. --Ed Eppel, aka -- -- __<TANK>===--- � -- ....<O_o_o_o_O>.....
