Ahhh, what browser are you using? A ping [iCMP 0 and 8] isn't really all that much to worry about, However, if you're looking for absolute stealth mode, the group can look into some or your settings if you wish. This is a clone/image from before, which you just recently installed correct? Which does [or did] apparently have a few *holes* in your security, which has caused some problems for you in the last year or so. If I remember correctly, you have had difficulties with [and/or>] email, virus, trojan, hijack, and/or what else? | > | > "MEB" <meb@not here@hotmail.com> wrote in message | > news:%23w0SyCw8HHA.1208@TK2MSFTNGP03.phx.gbl... | > > | > > | > > "Angel" <angel@noway.com> wrote in message | > > news:%23hwSYtu8HHA.5164@TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... | > > | | > > | "Buffalo" <Eric@nada.com.invalid> wrote in message | > > | news:ybadnT02Y7iP0X7bnZ2dnUVZ_j-dnZ2d@comcast.com... | > > | > Angel wrote: | > > | > > | > > | > > I did the grc shields up and I just got done uninstalling and | > > | > > reinstalling the ZA.

Guest MEB Posted September 10, 2007 Posted September 10, 2007 Re: Zone Alarm Blocking Oh gees, I just remembered, you're behind a router... hmm . .and you returned a ping Uhm, who setup the router? -- MEB http://peoplescounsel.orgfree.com ________
Guest Angel Posted September 11, 2007 Posted September 11, 2007 Re: Zone Alarm Blocking MEB, It is from ATT. The router was not messed with. There is no place to get into it to *set it up*. Or do you set it up from the computer? Gary helped me set the ATT router to get DSL. I did not use any of the software. ATT does not support the 98SE. So to get ATT to help you? No, you are on your own.

Guest Galen Somerville Posted September 11, 2007 Posted September 11, 2007 Re: Zone Alarm Blocking ATT people do not support Win98se. I never use the ATT software, even on XP, as it just loads your computer with Yahoo crap. In Network under TCP/IP for your ethernet card, set IP address to Auto. set WINS to DHCP. leave others at their default. Start with Client for MS networks. After it works, set it to MS family logon.
