Connection Time-out

[Guest MaryEllen]

This may seem like a simple problem but I just can't seem to get things to

work. My husbands computer was working fine yesterday, this morning he can't

connect to the internet even though his computer is showing that he has a

connection. We only get a "The connection has timed out" message. I've tried

everything including running a virus scan and can't get it to connect. Any

suggestions?

BTW... my computer is hooked to the same router and satellite and is working

fine.

It's a ZoneAlarm problem. ZoneAlarm has fixed it, and there's a new

version available to download on their web site.
