Hello all,

I have been using HGC broadband for a couple of weeks, and can't keep an internet connection if I use a firewall. It will cut out after a minute or two. I am thinking a firewall is essential, so does anyone know what the problem is?

Thanks

what firewall are you using?

[discobay]

I'm using HGC Broadband with the XP firewall without problems.

[joever]

I tried windows firewall, kerio, and ghostwall.

Try disabling the firewall and see if your connection stays up.

[jimbo]

yup then get yourself zonealarm which is the best free one out there, wouldn't bother with the xp version.

Yes, the connection is fine without the firewall. I am kind of tired of calling HGC and having them reset the connection or whatever it is they do every time I turn a firewall on.
