Hi all,
I have a problem.
I have W2k Server, with installed the firewall Outpost. I configured the connection for my T3 on BT and all works fine only if I stop the firewall. Otherwise i can't surfing or checking mail.
Someone has the same problem?

This happens with most of the firewalls. If you have it in the maximum security setting or if you block all communications by default you'll have this problem.

You should at least allow communications from localhost to localhost. One good way is to put the software in learning mode (where it asks for authorisation when a new program opens a connection) and allow communications that are handled by the Bluetooth stack. After this then revert the operation mode to normal.

This is a big problem with Zone Alarm, and in small scale with Symantec NIS.
