meh. ZA pro & SP2....

[Lion7718]

It almost sounds like he has the Internet Lock on...but it would have seem he would have already checked this. But since the Lock only comes on when Idel..when the Screensavor comes on...it kinda sounds like thats what it is. It's under ZA/Program Control/Main...box a bottom...just in case.

TY for the hint
but nah, auto lock is disabled, I had checked that already

but, looking back through there, I went into the advanced program settings,
alerts & functionality tab, and there's a setting checked:
"deny access if permission is set to 'ask' and true vector is running but ZAP is not"
now, I can't see that this would be a problem,
as long as my pc is running, my firewall is
but I could be wrong.......

any more ideas? they are appreciated....
(you know I'll gladly help you buggers out if you ever decide to switch to Sygate)

@ lynx - no, I haven't tried shutting down ZAP yet, don't really like to,
what the hell, I may try that next
but, it may not be ZAP anyway, as I've said, this is my 1st time really using SP2 as well
I had dabbed in it before, but uninstalled after, like, a day or so
so it could be an SP2 setting?

Mine is set that way also, True Vector is part of ZA, but this is what makes most users have ZA problems with lockups & crashes..it is almost always a true vector problem..I don't think that is it either.

Have you added any Rules to ZA yet..??
Maybe, something there is wrong..it couldn't hurt to remove any that have been added.

@fkdup74, you stubborn bugger , good quality to have tho ! What antivirus do you use ? I goggled your troubles and found a few issuses with different ones. Nod32 was one of a few mentioned .

I'm not a fan of ZA, always thought Sygate was better. And if you do want to use ZA with SP2, the older version is indeed better if I remember correctly.

But if you are feeling as if you'd like to experiment, you could have a go at outpost.
(Trying it myself 'cos Sygate went a bit nuts the last time I updated the drivers for my onboard lan on my old xp-installation)

I'm trying Outpost Pro 2.7 now on my (new as of the day before yesterday) xp-install, and it's working well so far, the only real problem I have with it is that you seem to need a plugin to do even a rudimentary whois through outpost.

@ Lion - no rules, haven't gotten that comfortable with ZAP yet to be messing about with rules

@ peat - damn straight I am (and using Symantec Corp 9.0.3.1000)

@ snny - used to have Outpost Pro, way back when all the firewall/AV testing was goin on in here,
(couple of big threads w/ test trojans/viruses/etc. and we were all measuring our fw's/av's penises)
so I collected all the fw's I could get my hands on

but fkd if I know what happened to it
prolly on a disc somewhere buried in a pile of junk.....

been hearing a big whoop-de-doo about look-n-stop,
this may just be my chance to try it out

[Lion7718]

I guess the next test to do would be to Shut ZAP down for about an hour & let it idel...if you still have a problem, than it's not ZAP & something else.

well it was ZA, finally remembered to restart ZA instead of rebooting
(restarting ZA got the network going)
gonna mess with some more settings and see if it works out

[peat moss]

Hey its the simple things sometimes , check your PM's Look " n" stop is always an opition if you don't care for ZA . I like ZA it was just too slow on start up , I reboot often because of all the software I try .

[peat moss]

OOps pardon me , excuse me ,
