meh. ZA pro & SP2....

**fkdup74** · 07-04-2005, 09:50 PM

fresh off a reformat,
decided to give Zone Alarm Pro & SP2 a shot.......
(I'm normally a SP1 & Sygate Pro kinda guy)

now I can't leave my pc idle for too long or else I have to reboot to reconnect to the net
(repairing the connection may do the trick, but a reboot is about just as fast)

anyone know of a setting in XP (SP2) or Zone Alarm that will fix this?
usually I'd start f00kin about with settings 'til something clicked,
but I'm dog ass tired atm

Edit: haven't gotten one of those "Event ID 4226" messages,
so not running the TCP/IP patch.......

ZAP is messed up. The free version is better.

Depends on the version ,4.5.594.0 seems fine a bit little slow on start up tho. Was having trouble with startup and process hogging myself ,so switched to Look "N" stop awhile back a great program . Got it after reading Zapjb's comments on it.

ffs, think I may know what it was.....
the default setting in windows is to
allow the network adapter to be powered off to save power

I hadn't changed that setting yet

we'll see if that does the trick.......

I spend days setting up my computer after a clean install , don't feel so bad.

I use XP with SP2 and Zone Alarm Pro version 5.0.094.000 and I don't have any problems

Sometimes if I leave my pc for more than 5 days without rebooting my net goes really sluggish, I think it did actually freeze once but I resolved by rebooting my router
