Hello Brian, I am sorry for the problem your having, To get Sunbelt Personal Firewall to let applications on to the Internet, we'll have to temporarily switch Sunbelt Personal Firewall to advanced mode so it can create a rule for your applications.

Please open Sunbelt Personal Firewall. You can do that by double-clicking the purple shield icon, which is in the bottom-right of your screen, near the system clock.

Then, click the Network Security tab, found on the left. Now on the right you'll see a list of applications. Find the one called "Any other application."

Click each of the 4 columns until the columns read ASK ASK ASK ASK. Then click the Apply Button.

Now, try running all your Internet programs now. Notice Sunbelt Personal Firewall will pop up with a dialog box that asks you to click "PERMIT" or "DENY" to an application. Be sure to CHECK the checkbox above these choices so you can make a rule for this application, and then click the "PERMIT" button. Do this for each time you receive the message. Use your programs as normal for a few minutes until you are sure you've got every program setup.

Sunbelt Personal Firewall has now made a rules for these programs. Go back to Sunbelt Personal Firewall where we were and change "Any Other Application" back so they read in this order: DENY PERMIT DENY PERMIT by clicking each of the 4 columns until they are changed to those values, then click Apply.

Sunbelt Personal Firewall is now back in Simple mode, and you have successfully permitted your programs on to the Internet.

Let me know if you continue to have problems.
