I've tried using Zone Alarm but they seem to conflict and it starts to block all traffic.
Are there any adsl-friendly firewalls that don't require lots of tinkering to get to work?
Thanks,

Get Sygate personal f/wall .
Much better than zone alarm IMO.

AGNITUM OUTPOST (http://www.agnitum.com/products/outpost/) is excellent as well.

Running zonealarm pro with web filtering version 4.0.123.012 here. I haven't had any conflicts with it myself on 2k pro or xp pro.

any firewall is better than none

im using zonealarm pro and not having any problems

also tried f-secure



you only run into problems when people start clicking the boxes to not allow IE etc...

then they wonder why they cant get webpages...
