                          Fuck, that's probably the reason why 3 PCs over here started having DNS problems at the same time lately. No anti-virus or anti-spyware was able to find the problem!!
                          I'm just a newbie.

                              It happened to me as well this morning. Ultimately I had to fully uninstall Zone Alarm and then reinstall to finally gain net access again. Wasted a good 90 minutes of my time figuring it out.

                                  this appears to be a dns problem, so if you've got you're own servers chances are bind needs updating, i've just updated mine.

                                      i'm not bitching at the problem, just at a wasted hour. you needed internet access to discover what the problem was.

                                              yeah had that too
                                              it sets the level to HIGH.. effectively blocking all in and out
                                              you have to go into options somewhere.. forgot.. have it at home
                                              and set it to medium.. then everythign will be back to normal

                                                  Um dipshit it seems it's more of a problem with ZoneAlarm than MS.
