Program’s Firewall Info

by borginva . Updated 23 years, 3 months ago

Using XP Pro with Norton Internet Security 2k3 (soon using ZoneAlarm Pro if my uncle buys it next month).

Several programs, like Kazaa, and other Internet enabled programs have in their options, FIREWALL, SOCKS, etc.

What do they mean and how do I use them? Should I be using them? I know that when NIS is enabled, Kazaa really does not upload and download much (it does but not much). With NIS off, I get more traffic happening.

If I need to use this to make certain Internet applications work correctly, how do I use this FIREWALL option and what goes into these SOCKS fields?

Thanks.
