Works fine with my Linksys and the free ZoneAlarm . Good Luck

jm - came back to the pc just now, after sitting idle for 7 hrs., no internet. I turned off ZA, connected fine. I then turned on ZA, & surfing back to normal. I have it configured just like your pic. I am running vers. 5.5, I know there is an update avail.

@katz - I'm at 6.5.737.000....that might be it, did you change any of the default permissions in Program control?

I didn't. This problem seems to be intermittent as well as my "sound" problem in the other thread!

I have been connected for the past 7 hrs. just fine, no probs.

I didn't see the other problem yet....I would upgrade to the latest ZA anyway

Do you guys unplug your router from AC when not in use, or leave it connected 24/7?

24-7. why unplug it?

I usually power my pc down overnight, unless I am I multi-shrinking, etc. I then kill the power to the pc. I know most of you guys run your systems non-stop.

I leave my netgear on 24/7, unless I have a problem then I power cycle the wireless router. BTW I have Comcast.

24/7 & hopefully 365.

Me too, I keep 3 on 24/7

here's a good experiment, throw a towel or sweater over the top of your router

see how long before you have to cycle it
