I installed the latest version 6.0.0.84 just now. On installation, and after restart... the firewall first detected the network. On clicking OK, my PC just hanged. I had to restart the PC manually. Didn't find any clue in Event Logs as to why this happened. On restart, the PC was working normally.
The problem with the earlier version remains the same with this version too. I was initially not able to connect to my ISP, or internet, and I had to follow the steps as suggested over at PC Tools Forum to get my connection up and running.
I also just had a reply over at my thread at PC Tools Forum, that they had discovered a bug in the version 6.0.0.81, and maybe the newer version will solve this problem. I have replied to the thread there with my experience above... and told them the problem still remains.
I saw another user complain of not being able to connect to VPN with the latest version of the firewall.
A user has also complained of not being able to connect to the ISP with version 6.0.0.81, on the main site in Best Free Firewall article. I have guided him to the thread on PC Tools Forum for solution.
I think some changes have been made to the firewall with the version 6.0.0.81, which are causing these problems. Hopefully, they will get hold of the problem or bug, and solve it soon.
kendall, did you update to the latest version yet... and if yes, did you encounter any problem?
