Guest Peter Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 Re: Internet access from an XP Pro laptop (wireless) If you have ZoneAlarm installed first uninstall it, reboot, that will re estabilish your internet connection. Then go to Zonealarm website, download the latest version 7.0.483.000 and that will fix the problem. The problem was due to the Windowns Security Update KB951748 and previous version ZoleAlarm interaction.

Guest Steve Posted July 30, 2008 Posted July 30, 2008 RE: Internet access from an XP Pro laptop (wireless) Sorry - I am limited with what I can access - as described in the question so unfortunately, I haven't progressed. Perhaps I should reinstall XP - but it came pre-installed!
