I think someone else mentioned this in their post as well. Some of these firewalls (zone alarm excluded) for windows have a tendency to 'alter' (?) winsock. And your TCP/IP settings. You may want to erase your tcp/ip settings in network configuration and just reinstall them. This may be fixed another way but a similar problem happened to me before and I did that to fix it. Another problem (sorta related) is when you install AOL 8 on an XP box. Ive found out renders your tcp/ip settings useless after uninstalling AOL, and I had to reinstall them all over. Use zone alarm for a personal firewall its a much better personal windows firewall in my honest opinion.
