Which software firewalls work with Ax + 802.11b?

I've had my Axim for about four months now and love it, especially the fact that I can connect to my network and surf the web wirelessly. How I love to sit on the toilet and read the newspaper on my Ax.

All is sweet you may think. Well, all but the fact that I can't seem to get any firewall software to co-operate with the Ax for internet use.

I've had problems all the way, from wireless syncing to network browsing, all of which I finally tracked down to the firewall and created new rules to allow them to run.

However, I've still not managed to surf the web on the Ax with the firewall up. So this means every time I want to sit back on the sofa and look in on aximsite, I have to disable the firewall. Which is a really bad thing 'cos I run p2p programs almost constantly and keep picking up trojans and stuff.

So how EXACTLY do I set them up to allow my Ax to access the net?

The firewalls I've tried are Zone Alarm and Norton Internet Security, but I'm willing to give another one a go if it works and gives good protection.

Thanking you in advance for your help!

Cheers,
