If you were  Registered and logged in, you could reply and use other advanced thread options

I am assuming that you are using version 8.0 of the corporate edition.
To disable Syn-flood double click on the icon in your task tray. Then
got to "edit" in the menu list and choose 'options' from the drop down.
In the window that pops up click on the 'Signatures' tab. There should
be a signature there for "SYN flood". Just uncheck the box next to it
and this hsould disable it.

The second post in this list reads like it is in relation to the retail
version and I have no idea about it. I have never used it.

Thanks for your answer. Your assumption is correct: Version 8.0
However, we are also using the EPO agent, therefore disabling Syn
Flood detection is not possible in my firewall, without removing the
computer from EPO policies first.

In response to the other Ed's posting, I'm not a big fan of this
product, but that's what our company has for the (few) pre-XP
machines.
