Zonealarm Problem

[ultimatejester]

i just installed zonealarm 4 pro, but everytime i restart my computer its always trying to connect to the internet. Is this suppose to happen?

[ultimatejester]

It may be normal

It seems the logical solution would be to check the ZoneAlarm (http://www.zonelabs.com) website.

You Probably are on Dial up I believe?
In Zonealarm settings "Start the program on startup" must be checked so each time the computer starts the zonealarm is turned on. And its a firewall and searches for flow on the internet it searches for an internet connection. Its normal. Just uncheck the option to start as soon as computer starts. Then each time you have to start it you go on internet.

what trys to &#39;connect&#39; ? ZA or your browser or your dialup/dsl ? or what ? try these settings. but without the load ZA at startup enabled

and go here (http://www.markusjansson.net/eza.html) for a basic and simple ZA config. this is for ZA free, but the basics are the same
