Try turning Zone Alarm off Marcella and see if it works then.

Just say bu**er it and open a bottle of wine – after all it is Friday night now.

Now that’s a good idea Phil 😀

[Phil Halling]

Trouble is Nick, an Idea is all it can be as I’ve still got to go coventry later to pick up some artwork for 30m2 of print I have to do on Sunday.

But it is a nice idea

[Nick Minall]

Phil, good advice, I’m off to the pub! *drink* 😀

Disconnected the router for a minute then connected it back up again …. hey presto seems to be OK again…..! 😀
had tried switching zone alarm off first of all Nick ………….. that was the first instinct but it made no difference. Must have been something to do with the router after all!!!!!!

Well …… it is friday night ………. I’m showered, changed and ready for a few drinks now!! 😀

if you got a router, uninstall zone alarm, its not actually doing anything.

is zone alarm not useful in telling you what programs are tyring to connect the the web so you know if you have anything you shouldn’t?

[David Rowland]

no.. not at all. Should you have programs installed on your computer that you dont need? If you got spyware, then remove the spyware.

Reminds of Norton (i think)… brings up those stupid requesters like "Allow <program> to access", most people dont know what they are.

A router which is selective on which sites to access – sounds like the Netgear modem I used to use.

My next modem was a Belkin, and it did not like the ISP dynamically assigned IP address, each time it changed and the computer was not accessing the internet, I the modem would lose the connection and could not connect until a reset. Problem solved with latest Belkin firmware (or continuous downloading).

I have not experienced any problems with D-Link or 3com modems.

Incidentally, in a recent lightening storm in our area, 2 Belkin modems failed, I have now replaced them with 3com.
