186204 2003-10-30 15:11:00 Here I am!!!!

I got ZA downloaded fine. I got it installed fine!!! x 2 and uninstalled x 2 .

Yes I got a tad bit lost with all the alerts etc. I could get yahoo messanger working but when I went to look at a page it came up page cannot be displayed and thats all pages.

One of the alerts was Generic Host Process for Win32 to accept connections from the internet??? No idea what this is.

Another The firewall has blocked internet access to your computer ICMP Echo request (ping) from 210 55 151 254.

another spooler subsystem app?????

and another transparent proxy server and another couple yahoo autoupdater is trying to access internet and

yahoo messanger wants to act as server.

well Im totally lost with these - im sorry

Jen C - I got the Nortons disabled the way you told me no probs - thanks for that, but at the mo I have put it back on until I learn more about ZA.

Thanks to Beetle and Stu too for being there!

block it. it needs to access the net but NOT ACCEPT connections from the net (ie put X in server box)

>he firewall has blocked internet access to your computer ICMP Echo request (ping) from 210 55 151 254.

ignore

>spooler subsystem app

not 100% sure what exactly causes this but block it anyway. havn't seen any problems caused by blocking it. all i can think of is printer drivers trying to phonehome.

> transparent proxy server

not sure. if in doubt block it, otherwise post the filename the alert mentions.

>yahoo autoupdater is trying to access internet

allow, just yahoo messanger checking for updates.

>yahoo messanger wants to act as server

allow, most messaging programs require to act as a server (ie accept connections/messages from the net)
