  ZoneAlarm eh?

  I am (was) a user of ZoneAlarm for quite some time
also. The problem with that program is that it takes
about a week of putting up with pop-up windows from the
taskbar to get the thing configured right. Running a
server? Forget it... Makes you wanna give up and let the
damn hacker come in and get a file or two.

   Try to let down zonealarm and see what happens. You
probably got it restricting cookies, or have your privacy
turned all the way up. Also go into the internet options
and click the advanced tab and then click RESET TO
DEFAULTS. Then go to the one to the left (forget right
now) and then reset your web settings.

  That should do it ... ;-)

  LOL !
