McAfee BellSouth DSL Conflict?

Hello,

My BellSouth DSL willnot run with the McAfee Fire Wall on.

Does anyone have this problem or know anything about it?

Is there a configuration on McAfee for this Problem:
If i start up The BellSouth DSL first; then second, the 
McAfee Fire Wall, i can usually get the BellSouth DSL 
to run for about 5 minutes. If i try to start the 
BellSouth DSL while the McAfee Fire Wall is on, 
The BellSouth DSL willnot sart up at all.

The McAfee Fire Wall log is often saying, "Blocked 
A Port Scan Attack", also it Blocks incoming and 
outgoing TCP a lot, then finally after about 5 
minutes of this, the DSL just quits all together.

Why is it "a bad thing" for TCP's to be coming in
an out - what do they do that is "bad" (Violation)?

Does anyone know how to configure McAfee of BellSouth
DSL around to stop his problem?

Yesterday at Best Buy, they told me McAfee isnot 
configured for DSL, but is configured only for 
dial-up. Is this a popular opinion or a fact? 

I donot have this problem with my mom-n-pop 
dial-up ISP as you can see.
