Firewall problems and Internet on windows 7

Hillmab

We have been having a problem with Sophos firewall issues at my work. For some reason SCF services on sophos disable internet and outlook. So after reading a bunch of information on we decided to uninstall the end the SCF service and uninstall the firewall client. Now  our end users can get internet and Outlook since its what the company uses for email. We have called up and spend hours and hours with the Sophos people and sent them our logs but its been over a Week with no help from them. So am hoping someone can help or have helpfull tips cause we can not keep having the network without a firewall for a very long time.

Thanks

    At this point we are just about to give up on sophos. I did use a fresh Vm win7 machine and sophos did work well after joining the domain and pushing out the GPOs. The sophos guys called and said that they have had problems with stateful tcp/ip and windows 7. so what we did is remove all the global rules and reset all the sophos configurations to default and only set to "allow all IP outbound" and "allow all IP IN Localhost" which made on of the computers work well. So we then pushed out all the GPOs based on same Global rules that one working computer had. But after couple of minutes when i rebooted another win 7 machine, it just wasnt having Internet connections.

    The sophos guys said the software was detecting the location as secondary and not primary but that has nothing to do with disabling internet connections. The wierd thing is my computer which we were using as a test machine is now working fine but my directors computer and other machine, have to end the SCF service to get to Internet. We are at a point were we are about to remove sophos from 350 computers and switch to microsoft forefront;cause if Sophos themselves cant find an answer after 14days of having our logs, then we are on our own.
