what else is it doing that you don't want it to do?

if it did 'just that' then it wouldn't be a firewall. firewalls block
incoming too. but that's mostly invisible. So you gotta say what it
is doing that is a nuisance to you. Maybe the graphical user interface
is cluttered. Sygate has a nice interface, you might want to try that.
