be warned newest updates from Microsoft and ZoneAlarm issues

[Guest Clark...]

On two computers here (my office) both with Zone Alarm and installed newest

upates from MS

lost internet connectivity, the solution so far is to disable ZA or

uninstall it, or do a friggen restore point before the MS update.

I tried to install the latest ZA but no help...

any ideas?

It's a common problem today. I recommend uninstalling ZA and

installing the built-in Windows firewall instead. ZA has no advantages

over the Windows firewall.

I hate to disagree but, I do..

I do agree that the MS firewall has come a long way and is much better than

ever, but I like the extra control of ZA

On one PC I have done a restore to the 7th and the other I un-installed ZA,

I don't know what I am going to do with my other six computers yet...

I am also having the same problems on my home network but was able to correct

it. Try edtting the settings: Open ZoneAlarm > On the left click on Firewall

> Click the Advance button > On Advanced Settings tab under Internet

connection sharing, tick This computer is not on an ICS/NAT network (if you

are not on a network) or This computer is a client of an ICS/NAT gateway

running ZoneAlarm or This computer is an ICS/NAT gateway as applicable to

Particular computer, then select the correct local address(i.e. 192.168.0.1

for the gateway computer).

Although the fix here should work:

I strongly disagree with this advice:

Perhaps a better firewall is what's needed?

I googled for the KB951748 problem and saw in some other discussion

forums that the problem has cropped up in some computers that do not

have Zone Alarm installed. For instance, in

http://www.pcqanda.com/dc/dcboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=2&topic_id=486166&mesg_id=486167#486167

it says: "...I don't have ZA, I've got NOD32 ESS but is that really

the problem? ...[etc.]"

Also, pl. see

http://www.marketwatch.com/news/story/media-alert-check-point-provides/story.aspx?guid=%7BFC6B94E2-0979-4173-92BF-9AF2C9F677D5%7D&dist=hppr

"MEDIA ALERT: Check Point Provides ZoneAlarm Customers Solution for

Loss of Internet Access Which May Occur after Installation of

Microsoft Update KB951748", which I am in the process of reading.

Update: For those who want to continue using ZA in preference to

Windows firewall, ZA has released new versions which apparently work

correctly. Read here:
