I think to just the average everyday user it is pretty meaningless (most =
of
it to me anyway lol).
I use Webroot Desktop Firewall which gives you the option of importing
common Windows tasks as part of setup, taking the decision out of your
hands, thus ensuring everything that needs access to the network is =
taken
care of. Whilst I believe Sygate and other Firewalls do this to a =
certain
degree, it by no means seems comprehensive.
I could be talking out of my hat here, but I suppose the additional =
problem
with the traditional SPF as we knew it before the Symantec acquisition, =
its
unlikely they'll be future updates, therefore when critical MS updates =
are
installed, more and more applications will seem unfamiliar.

Thanks Mark, I don't know what XP messenger is all about; a lot of the
programmes that want to access the web, seem to want to use the same =
address
of 224... but I don't understand these addresses, so like I said, don't =
know
if to allow the contact or not. It's clear enough if say a downloaded
programmed is trying to make contact with it's website, such as Real =
Player
trying to contact Real Networks, but this 224 etc etc is meaningless to =
me!
Thanks - Andy

Andy in this case, the program trying to access the Net is XP's Windows
Messenger. If you're a user of this, then you need to set a rule in =
Sygate
allowing it. SSDP is the protocol it uses.
Generally as a rule however, if you're ever unsure about an application =
say
'No'. If you later find out something isn't working properly, you can go
back into Sygate's Rules and make changes. HTH.

Subject: [access-uk] Allowing files to access the internet
I never know if it's ok to let messages from Sygate regarding files on =
my
system trying to access the internet, to go ahead or not!
Every time I boot up, the following message comes up:
Messenger [msmsgs.exe] is trying to connect to [192.168...] using remote
port 1900 [ssdp: simple service discovery protocol]
I've said both yes and no to this, but I don't know what it's about, or
whether to allow it or not!
Anybody got any guide-lines on outgoing connections; I always say no to
incoming requests. - Andy
