Back online thankyou
Thanks for the message. Have been having problems with my son's internet access. All was working fine until he updated Windows a couple of days ago, then nothing. Was just about to post a query and saw this. I changed the security setting as you suggested and it's working again. Is there a way to get the security setting back up to high without losing connections?
Thanks again. Wahdm7

Its working now, It was just that I went for the update before it was released. The update on the ZoneAlarm web site works great.

So if your having issues connecting to the internet, and you found it to be your firewall, by changing the settings to med. Then to correct the problem perminantly, go to the ZoneAlarm website, and download the update. That should allow you to change the setting back to high..

Thanks for the concern.
Enjoy
Peace.

Wow - good old MSN - I had tried just about everything I could think of - then I ran across this posting about ZA. I changed to ZA setting to MED and I was able to connect.

Now I just need to check into ZA and see what I can find.

Thanks

Yes, ZA did release an update to fix the problem with MS update KB951978. I received it a few days back, you can get it from their site.
