Nvidia firewall blocking azureus?

[Smartazz]

Azureus crashes a lot on my computer, it has an Nvidia 570MCP which might have something to do with it. Azureus said that an nvidia firewall"or something like that" was on and was found to cause problems. What could this program be, and how do I disable it?

The Nvidia firewall is part of their driver package - I think they call it 'network monitoring' or 'network management'. It is a buggy piece of crap and causes more network problems than any other software I've ever heard of. I'd uninstall it if I were you - google 'uninstall nvidia firewall' or something for instructons if you can't find it under 'add or remove programs'.

Yup, dump the NV firewall, and yous problems they is solved.

If you want to use a software firewall, get Kerio or just use Windows.

You have 2 firewalls installed on top of eachother and one of them is Nvidia's? I'm surprised your network works at all! 😉

The Nvidia firewall is a horrible firewall.... Your lucky if you can even access the net with that thing.
