Is there a comprehensive manual for the nForce 3 250Gb firewall?

I have had problems running the hardware firewall built into my Epox EP-8KDA3J - I like the software interface, and it seems to block would-be intruders, but it also prevents me from accessing any http site that tries to redirect to https (including my bank, USAA, Netflix, and others), even when I have it turned off, or configured it for access to http and https. I ultimately just uninstalled the software, which fixed the problem, but it also disabled the firewall.

Is there a complete manual, with troubleshooting tips, available somewhere?

^ bump ... I couldn't connect to my PPPoE-based DSL provider with the damn firewall service running... i had to totally uninstall the software package to get on the net....

is this thing incompatible with PPPoE? that would suck immensely. :/


Edit: Also, when I change the web interface security profile from "Low" to "Off"... it goes back to "low" when I reload the web interface! Marvelous.

Not sure if there is a Manuel anywhere for the firewall but from what I've read it's not really ready for primetime yet and you'd be better off just using one of the normal software firewalls.

Yeah, I always got an error saying it couldn't save the new profile, and it would revert to Low or Medium. It's frustrating, because I think the firewall has a lot of unrealized potential.
