371143 2005-07-11 03:53:00 I have just installed a downloaded version of Zone Alarm pro V5. After installation it worked fine the first time, asking if I wished to allow programs to access the internett etc, and I was able to access the internet.
Since then however I have not been able to go online while ZA is opperating.I have checked program control and the programs that I wish to use are all ticked to allow connection, but I cannot connect. I printed the Program manual but cannot find anything that explains what is happening.
I an running Windows XP with SP 2 installed and Symanted Antivirus.
I currently have the Windows firewall turned on as the only way I can connect is to turn ZA off.
Any ideas?
thanks

Scott

371147 2005-07-11 04:42:00 In Zone Alarm under Firewall - Zone Security Settings set them all to Low
If you can now get websites set then back to your preferred setting and check it is still working.

371149 2005-07-13 10:50:00 Thanks for the help.
I tried turning the firewallsettings to low but was still unable to get Internet explorer or firefox or live update to go through. Funnily enough if i have any of these programs running and then turn Z A on they seem to work Ok.
The only programs that I have ticked in program control are :
Eudora
Firefox
Internet explorer
Nortons Antivirus
SWMAPI MFC Appli

371150 2005-07-13 10:58:00 what else do you have ticked? there are some obvious things missing. more importantly what have you got an X on ?? tweak'e (69)
371151 2005-07-14 08:59:00 The only program marked with X is Generic host proce,
All others have ?

Dial up server details are there. I have no trouble getting online but with ZA on No other program will work

371152 2005-07-14 09:54:00 I use ZA Pro on a dial up stand alone PC and also use Symantic anti virus so that combination is not the problem.

Is XP's firewall turned off? Maybe there is a conflict there.
