I have been having connectivity problems for a while and recently ran the IE
diagnose connections problems from my browser. It allowed me to connect but
this problem will continue..... Here is a copy of the diagnose. What can I
do, and what am I missing.....

Please answer the following questions?

1. Did you install WinXP SP3 manually or via Windows Update?

2. Was ZA Security Suite (i.e., the anti-virus component and the firewall)
enabled when you installed SP3?

3. Was Ad-Aware 2007's "Guard" service enabled when you installed SP3?

4. If you temporarily disable ZA firewall AND THEN enable the Windows
Firewall, does the connection problem persist?

Here are the answers to your questions as I remember:
1. SP3 was installed via Windows Update.

2. Both ZA and Windows firewall were enabled during install of SP3. (…unless
part of the download instructions asked you to disable them...)

3. The Adware I run is the free version. I am not sure what the "GUARD"
service is. If I am not mistaken it only runs if I start the program.

4. I will try #4 as soon as I am able tonight.

FYI-----Although I just installed SP3, I had this problem while in SP2.

HERE IS A BRIEF HISTORY - My computer would not boot up. Eventually I was
able to restart it however I lost a few programs and had to reinstall them
along with SP2. When I tried to install SP2 I was unable to get it thru
Windows Update. My Windows update did not work at all so I contacted windows
support and they emailed me 4-5 times with different things to try. I
registered the DLL files, and reloaded the windows update temporary folder.
I then with the help of Microsoft support reset the hard drive permissions.
Part of that process was installing a file named "secedit.zm9". After
following this last email I was able to install SP2. Afterwards is when i
realized my current problem. I appreciate ALL your help, Thanks!

2. Both ZA and Windows firewall were enabled during install of SP3

Back up there, Alan: ZA Security Suite includes an anti-virus application
and a firewall. Are you telling me that the ZA firewall AND the Windows
Firewall was enabled when you installed SP3 via Windows Update? Are both
firewalls enabled now? If so, see if disabling the Windows Firewall
corrects the "connectivity" problems.

While the machine should NEVER be connected to the internet without a
firewall, you only want one (1) firewall enabled.
3. The Adware I run is the free version. I am not sure what the "GUARD"
service is. If I am not mistaken it only runs if I start the program.
Click to expand...

Ad-Aware 2007 (free and paid) includes a Windows Service named "Guard." If
you open services.msc (Start | Run | services.msc | OK) you'll see it
listed. This Service "protects" Windows and disallows certain changes to be
made (e.g., the changes install SP3 will make), so it should have been
disabled prior to installing SP3.

Somewhat OT but:
I...had to reinstall...SP2.
When I tried to install SP2 I was unable to get it thru Windows Update.
Click to expand...

I would have installed SP2 manually, myself. (You must have SP2 installed
to be able to use Windows Update.) See...

Updates are not installed successfully from Windows Update, from Microsoft
Update, or by using Automatic Updates after you repair a Windows XP
installation:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/943144

NB: Also applies to clean installs, upgrade installs, and Recovery installs.

Afterwards is when i realized my current problem. I appreciate ALL your
help, Thanks!

Please answer the following questions?

1. Did you install WinXP SP3 manually or via Windows Update?

2. Was ZA Security Suite (i.e., the anti-virus component and the
firewall)
enabled when you installed SP3?

3. Was Ad-Aware 2007's "Guard" service enabled when you installed SP3?

4. If you temporarily disable ZA firewall AND THEN enable the Windows
Firewall, does the connection problem persist?

Sorry it has taken so long to respond to your response. You are right, I am
only running ZA firewall. I tried what you suggested, I turned off the ZA
firewall and turned ON Windows firewall. I still have the same problem. I
did find out that all I need to restart when IE is not connecting is the
"DHCP Client" in SERVICES.

Click to expand...

Back up there, Alan: ZA Security Suite includes an anti-virus application
and a firewall. Are you telling me that the ZA firewall AND the Windows
Firewall was enabled when you installed SP3 via Windows Update? Are both
firewalls enabled now? If so, see if disabling the Windows Firewall
corrects the "connectivity" problems.

While the machine should NEVER be connected to the internet without a
firewall, you only want one (1) firewall enabled.
3. The Adware I run is the free version. I am not sure what the "GUARD"
service is. If I am not mistaken it only runs if I start the program.
Click to expand...

Ad-Aware 2007 (free and paid) includes a Windows Service named "Guard." If
you open services.msc (Start | Run | services.msc | OK) you'll see it
listed. This Service "protects" Windows and disallows certain changes to be
made (e.g., the changes install SP3 will make), so it should have been
disabled prior to installing SP3.

Somewhat OT but:
I...had to reinstall...SP2.
When I tried to install SP2 I was unable to get it thru Windows Update.

I would have installed SP2 manually, myself. (You must have SP2 installed
to be able to use Windows Update.) See...

I'd recommend that you open a free WinXP SP3 support incident, Alan. (Tip:
Don't mention any of the "brief history" you've posted in this thread. Just
say you've had this connectivity problem since you installed SP3. [I never
told you that!] )

Free unlimited installation and compatibility support is available for
Windows XP, but only for Service Pack 3 (SP3), until 14 Apr-09. Chat and
e-mail support is available only in the United States and Canada.

permissions. Part of that process was installing a file named
"secedit.zm9". After following this last email I was able to install
SP2.
Afterwards is when i realized my current problem. I appreciate ALL your
help, Thanks!


:
Please answer the following questions?

1. Did you install WinXP SP3 manually or via Windows Update?

2. Was ZA Security Suite (i.e., the anti-virus component and the
firewall)
enabled when you installed SP3?

3. Was Ad-Aware 2007's "Guard" service enabled when you installed SP3?

4. If you temporarily disable ZA firewall AND THEN enable the Windows
Firewall, does the connection problem persist?

Hi...... It might take me a while longer to let you know how things worked
out. I lost my power supply this past weekend. (At least thats what I think
it is) I have no fans no lights. When I opensd the case There is a light on
the mother board. (Is this called the "FLEA" light? Anyway I am sure I will
need to purchase and replace this before I move any further with this
project. I didn't want you to think I forgot about you!!! Thanks, Alan

THANKS for the info.......... I will give it a try, and hopefully get back

[2 weeks and he did't bother to call or write...! <eg>]

I'd recommend that you open a free WinXP SP3 support incident, Alan. (Tip:
Don't mention any of the "brief history" you've posted in this thread. Just
say you've had this connectivity problem since you installed SP3. [I never
told you that!] )

Free unlimited installation and compatibility support is available for
Windows XP, but only for Service Pack 3 (SP3), until 14 Apr-09. Chat and
e-mail support is available only in the United States and Canada.

Alan said:
Sorry it has taken so long to respond to your response. You are right, I
am
only running ZA firewall. I tried what you suggested, I turned off the ZA
firewall and turned ON Windows firewall. I still have the same problem.
I
did find out that all I need to restart when IE is not connecting is the
"DHCP Client" in SERVICES.

:
2. Both ZA and Windows firewall were enabled during install of SP3

Back up there, Alan: ZA Security Suite includes an anti-virus application
and a firewall. Are you telling me that the ZA firewall AND the Windows
Firewall was enabled when you installed SP3 via Windows Update? Are both
firewalls enabled now? If so, see if disabling the Windows Firewall
corrects the "connectivity" problems.

While the machine should NEVER be connected to the internet without a
firewall, you only want one (1) firewall enabled.

3. The Adware I run is the free version. I am not sure what the "GUARD"
service is. If I am not mistaken it only runs if I start the program.

Ad-Aware 2007 (free and paid) includes a Windows Service named "Guard."
If
you open services.msc (Start | Run | services.msc | OK) you'll see it
listed. This Service "protects" Windows and disallows certain changes to
be made (e.g., the changes install SP3 will make), so it should have been
disabled prior to installing SP3.

Somewhat OT but:

I...had to reinstall...SP2.
When I tried to install SP2 I was unable to get it thru Windows Update.

I would have installed SP2 manually, myself. (You must have SP2
installed
to be able to use Windows Update.) See...

Updates are not installed successfully from Windows Update, from
Microsoft
Update, or by using Automatic Updates after you repair a Windows XP
installation:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/943144

NB: Also applies to clean installs, upgrade installs, and Recovery
installs. --

(…unless
part of the download instructions asked you to disable them...)

3. The Adware I run is the free version. I am not sure what the "GUARD"
service is. If I am not mistaken it only runs if I start the program.

4. I will try #4 as soon as I am able tonight.

FYI-----Although I just installed SP3, I had this problem while in SP2.

HERE IS A BRIEF HISTORY - My computer would not boot up. Eventually I
was
able to restart it however I lost a few programs and had to reinstall
them
along with SP2. When I tried to install SP2 I was unable to get it thru
Windows Update. My Windows update did not work at all so I contacted
windows support and they emailed me 4-5 times with different things to
try.
I registered the DLL files, and reloaded the windows update temporary
folder. I then with the help of Microsoft support reset the hard drive
permissions. Part of that process was installing a file named
"secedit.zm9". After following this last email I was able to install
SP2.
