| [Kerio 4.x] "VMware NAT Service" killing Firewall Hi.
I have Sunbelt Personal Firewall 4.3.268 running on my WinXP SP2 system. After installing VMware 6 Workstation, I noticed that the firewall didn't start anymore during bootup of the system.
Digging further revealed that, during bootup, the "VMware NAT Service" stops the "Sunbelt Kerio Personal Firewall 4" service. Initially, the latter one starts, but seconds later, the "VMware NAT Service" stops it somehow again.
Is this problem known?
Any ideas how I can resolve this issue (other than uninstalling the firewall)?
... later ...
1. Uninstalling VMware Workstation 6 makes the Sunbelt Kerio Firewall starting again.
2. I noticed that when VMware is uninstalled, booting up the system goes quite faster (about 1 minute!). Something might be "blocking" ?!?!
3. Disabling the firewall option "Enable Network Intrusion Prevention System (NIPS)" also makes the firewall start again properly.
4. Starting the firewall manually after system bootup is complete also works fine. Sunbelt Kerio personal Firewall starts and remains started!
Any ideas ... ?
Thanks, |
