Not Using Zone alarm KB951748 shutsdown network connect

[Guest Mark]

KB951748 shuts down my ability to connect to the network. I have searched the

Registry for Zone Alarm keys, general Directories for Zone alarma DB's and or

file. No Zone Alarm products running that I can discern.

 

Windows XP-media center, SP2, Windows Live One care firewall.

 

I continue to "unload" KB951748 after it installs through auroupdates. IS

thereany other known comflict for the KB in question other than the ZOne

Alarm product?

 

Does Windows Live care firewall use a form of Zone Alarm?

 

Thnak you.

What part of I am NOT USING ZONE ALARM is not clear? Why would I download

Zone alarm clean up issues when I am not useing the product?

Is there any reason you're using the Live Care firewall instead of the

built-in XP firewall? Is the built-in firewall disabled in place of

the live card Firewall?

You are rcorrect. The XP firewall is in place and Livecare firewall is off.

 

Do you know of an adjustment or tweak to change the XP firewall to allow KB

951 to operate?

 

Thnak you.

It's goofy that it's even causing you this headache after it

installed. What you could do is uninstall and ask Windows update to

not automatically install it but the caveat is that you'd not be

wholly protected by what the DNS patch fixes. Seems only some ISP are

patching the issue these days so you can't really count on them fixing

the DNS bug and reducing your risk were you to uninstall it. It's also

possible to uninstall it and use a registry tweak to make sure the DNS

is querying the correct IP so as to not be vulnerable to cache

poisoning.

 

If you want to try it out, give this a shot:

 

1. Start > Run > type Regedit and press OK

2. Navigate to

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters

3. See if you have a key named QueryIpMatching

4. If it happens to be there, it's very likey it's set to 0

(disabled). You'll want it to be set to 1 (enabled)

5. If it does not exist, right-click in the settings pane (on the

right), choose New > DWORD Value, for the value put QueryIpMatching

and press OK.

6. Click twice on the new entry and set the value to 1.

 

It's a slightly less certain defense against DNS Cache Poisoning than

the actual patch but at least you'll be protected.

 

Let me know how it goes.

The issue occurs o matter which firewall I invoke. It seems strange that no

thers have this issue with XP\Media Center SP2.

Sure. Any reason for not upgrading to SP3 yet? Just curious.
