thats exactly what i would do, however i run 3 firewalls, and i often crash even tho i got nearly a gig of ram, but me ram management is abysmal, i often have to run 'ram clearers' which tbh shows its lack of management.....

The problem isn't really your memory or lack thereof, the problem is that each one of those products is hooking into your TCP/IP stack and trying to intercept packets. You could essentially consider those programs to be fighting amongst themselves about who gets to intrepret/interrupt the packet first and then possibly even altering the packet and thus confusing the other programs watching your stack. In other words, pick a good firewall product and stick with it, don't run multiple ones. I am suprised you haven't had the problem before this...bad things happen when multiple programs vie for the same data at the same time...
