nForce4 & Network Access Manager (NAM)

[JJK80]

Hello!

I have ASUS A8N-E (NVIDIA nForce4 Ultra) motherboard and I use NVIDIA's Network Access Manager (NAM).


Those below services are running in my Windows XP system, can I disable those services? Or are those services required for NAM's proper functionality?

- Internet Connection Firewall / Internet Connection Sharing
- Network Location Awareness (NLA)
- Network Provisioning Service
- COM+ Event System
- System Event Notification

 

[JJK80]

Could someone help,

Is any of those services needed by NAM?

 

[JJK80]

Nobody knows?

Nobody?

You might want to try the Operating Systems section of the forums 🙂

You could also disable them and see what happens.

I had major problems with NAM before, so I think that I don't dare.

Uninstall NAM, use the Windows firewall.

Windows XP's firewall only includes protection for incoming traffic.
There isn't any protection for outgoing traffic.
