When I have PMFirewall running, I cant surf at all.. If I turn the Firewall off, I have no problem.
Anyone know why this is happening, im guessing at it being a setting that I chose on installation, (But which?) Ive run through it 3 times choosing differently each time but still get the same problem with surfing.
Thanx in Advance

Make sure you allow outgoing HTTP connections.

Try reinstalling pmfirewall, but be ready to do the following: right after you execute pmfirewall you'll be prompted/asked for your external connection (default is eth0) answer with ppp0 and you should be fine after that. If you have a permanent connection setup will be quite different.
I'll keep an eye for your reply.

If you don't know this yet, eth0 is your lan connection (NIC card), ppp0 stands for you dial-up connection.
Be more specific as to how you're connecting to the outside so I can be more helpful.
