    I guess that the subject says it all... I'm trying to locate a decent firewall, but the better known ones that I've downloaded balk at running under Win95, (Kerio Personal Firewall, ZoneAlarm firewall and the Sygate) even though they claim to be WinAll.

    Can anyone point me in the right direction.

    Thanks

    Hi Tom,

    Seems as if Win95 is starting to drop off the radar when "Win All" is mentioned in spec sheets, but one course of action which should help you is to download an older version of Zone Alarm ( one that was win95 compat )

    I would suggest 3.7 as the most likely not to give you problems.

    As promised, I wanted to let everyone know that Halo's suggestion, to check-out an older version of ZoneAlarm, worked out well. FYI; I had to fall back to ZoneAlarm 2.6 (2.8 MB). Install was trouble free, my old DOS game machine is now on network. :)

    Cat5e, thanks for the "Heads-up" on AtGuard Firewall, I'll check it out as well...
