Recently I have found that I can not access the internet for email and
surfing while my firewall is operational.  I was using Sygate's personal
firewall for over a year with no problems.  After searching MS KB and
Sygate's page, I found that if I disabled it, I could connect to the
internet.  At this time I was using Norton's Systemwork's 2003 and NAV had
just expired.  I thought it was related to Norton's so I uninstalled and
tried System Mechanic with the Kaspersky Antivirus and firewall.  No luck,
whe the firewall is activated, no connection.

My system is home built with a FIC AN11 mobo, Athlon XP1800+ (1.5 GHz) CPU,
512 RAM, a cable modem connected via USB.  I ruled out the modem by
installing the NIC and trying to connect via the NIC card, same deal with
the firewall.

Thanks for any help
