Guest Dena Jo Posted July 11, 2008 Posted July 11, 2008 I keep losing my connection to the Internet. This has only been happening since the last automatic update that took place this week. I have two computers (one XP and one Vista) connected via a router, and only my XP computer loses the connection. Has anyone else had this problem since the update? Any suggestions? It's driving me crazy. It seems to happen only when I'm using my browser (IE7). -- Dena Jo Email goes to denajo2 at the dot com variation of the Yahoo domain.

Guest Ronaldo Posted July 11, 2008 Posted July 11, 2008 Re: I keep losing my connection to the Internet I've had the same problem on a number of occasions and not due to any type of Windows updates but to damage caused from removing Internet applications, malicious applications or malware. This is what I do to fix the Internet connection: Delete Temporary Internet Files and cookies from the Control Panel\Internet Options\General tab; next go to the Programs tab\and click on "Restore Web Configuration". Next Install XP TCP/IP Repair and run the TCP/IP Protocol repair and restart the computer. If the problem persists, also repair the Winsock with the same application... http://www.xp-smoker.com/freeware.html If the problem still persists, disable Startup programs from; Start Button\Run\type; "msconfig" (no quotes) and hit Enter... go to the Startup tab\uncheck programs except for Office and the antivirus, Apply and exit. Next clean/disinfect your system with applications like; "A Squared Free", "Malwarebytes Anti-Malware", "Spyware Terminator", "Super Antispyware" or "Windows Defender". http://majorgeeks.com http://download.com --------------------------- "Dena Jo" <me@privacy.net> escribió en el mensaje news:Xns9AD85EF6D7C59DenaJo@130.133.1.4... >I keep losing my connection to the Internet.

Just download and install. > http://download.zonealarm.com/bin/free/pressReleases/2008/LossOfInternetAccessIssue.html I've just installed the new relevant ZoneAlarm version 7.0.483.000, and the outstanding MIcrosoft updates. Everything seems to be working ok so far. Thanks to ZoneAlarm for their swift action.
