I think you are right. I have been able to disable ZoneAlarm on two
machines and when I uninstalled 748 internet connection was restored. But on
a third machine I don't have 748 installed, but I do have 749 and even
UNINSTALLING ZoneAlarm I am still not able to get internet reestablished.
There were 5 MS updates installed at the same time on this machine:
0749, 1698, 823-v3, 760 1376-v2, and 0762 Should I uninstall ALL of those?
If I should try one at a time what is the order of the ones to be removed?
In response to another post here if two computers go out at the same time it
might be coincidence, but if both of those have a software problem and both
have the same software installed that is creating the problem ..........
Thanks
