Serious Hub Problems

[COCNBALLER11]

I was running PtokaX, and I run ZoneAlarm. The error that would come up when say I left the hub running all night was something like socket 1055 error, not sure on the exact number but it was a socket error. Also the pop up that was informing me on the error had come up like 4 times. And the logs provided me with no useful info. Another thing was that only the admins/OPs were able to access the hub, to fix this problem I tried making it a registered users only hub which didn't do anything. Probably the stragest thing was that all the people were being redirected to some random Latvian hub, and I had no redirect address or any of that.

Any and all help would be great.

never use zonealarm when running dc.
it screws up things badly, and some versions have a extremely serious leak.

So what should I be running instead? I've heard Norton's firewall is supposed to be a good one, also can the firewall be a reason for all of my users getting redirected?

There are multiple results searching ' firewall ' in this forum,
as for the redirect I think it could be a misconfigured firewall but it all depends how the redirect is involed in the 1st place ..

Hi,

Try out Black Ice Defender you shouldn't get any problem.

another thing on the redirect is that I didn't even have an adress in the redirect addi, and than all my users got redirected to something called The Latvian Hub, but also can I have links to the things you guys have suggested.

PS
Thanks for the help guys.
