zone alarm is poo

[breaklose]

i eventually found out why i couldnt connect my two pcs : its because zone alarm is poo. not only it would prevent my local network to work alright, zone alarm would also cause instant rebooting and stuff like that i just put norton personal firewall on both pcs and its working alright

zone alarm works perfect tho you just need to config some things that he blocks automatically

 

[breaklose]

it actually works a bit too good. you cant e-fart without it shuting down your computer.

Whitelist 192.168.0 in your zonealarm, and it will work to share your things fine, or simply use the wizard to setup your homenetwork.

 

[breaklose]

thats what i did, but it would shut down my computer instead.

 

[Gronke]

I just had a virus on my pc that tells the monitor to switch off every time you switch the pc on. Great. So I couldnt even begin to work it out cause my monitor was off all the time. I got told to go into 'safe mode' which worked, and then to do a system restor which Id also never heard of before but which worked out great. Otherwise I was just gonna bang a floppy in and wipe the entire memory thus losing some very important demos and also the 4 gig of 80s pop I have on my hard drive.
