Personal Firewall - can it work with online gaming

[danish]

Finally pulled myself together and got myself a personal firewall - in this case the Norton variant but I would guess the basics is the same for all of them (?).

So will online gaming suffer (like prolonged pingtimes, package loss, disco...)?Words of wisdom will be appreciated =)

You should be able to configure it to allow your online games to work properly.

I don't have any experience with that product though, so I've no idea.  Worst case scenario you just disable it while you play, but that shouldn't be necessary.

Yes I have started out with standart levels: "Medium".
There is options for "high" and "minimum" as well, like there is the possibilities to tweek these.Also one can choose not to use the firewall on certain addresses - like HTC :=)
Last option seems the most elegant if trouble should arise.

Doh!A case of yelling for help before knowing if there is any need

Seems the Norton Personal Firewall alarms when you log on AH arena overview, then gives you the choise to accept (once or permanently) or not.

Had a lengthy sortie, no problems afaik.

Thx for the answer anyways Lephturn :=)
