From: muzician21 on 22 Apr 2008 09:07 I just got DSL a couple of days ago. I have Zonealarm as one of my bootup apps. Checking e-mail or going on the net after initial bootup with Zonealarm running works fine. However, if I turn off the LAN or Zonealarm after the initial bootup and turn them back on, Zonealarm now prevents me from getting mail or accessing the net. If I turn off Zonealarm, everything works. Using XP Home SP2, Embarq DSL. I might turn them off for example if I'm doing some video capture and don't want anything tripping it up, I turn off all unneeded apps. However, I also noticed that if the system sits for a long time - several hours with no internet activity and I go to access it, I get the same thing happening. Why would this be happening? The ethernet card is listed as being in the internet zone. I've noticed that Zonealarm being on also prevents my computers from talking to each other when they're networked. I have to turn off Zonealarm on both machines for it to work. Thanks for all input

From: smlunatick on 22 Apr 2008 12:17 Zone Alarm is not a Microsoft product nor built into XP For Zone Alarm to work correctly when setting up a router / network, you need to add you network IP network to the trusted zone with in ZA On 22/04/2008 muzician21(a)yahoo.com wrote: >On Apr 22, 9:07 am, muzicia...(a)yahoo.com wrote: >> I just got DSL a couple of days ago.

Can't say anything about networking, single user system. Dave Cohen |
