Is your 'firewall' Zone Alarm?

I'm having what looks like the same problem and I run Zone Alarm. When I
restore my system to a point before this update, it works fine, but after
KB951748 installs I am able to connect to my wireless router, but cannot get
past it to the internet.

Is there a Zone Alarm setting that needs to be fixed?

Obviously this is an issue that goes beyond "Zone Alarm" as I was not
running it and I still could not access the internet after installing
update KB951748. In fact I shut down all security programs and it still
would not access the internet. Unless it is due to having Zone Alarm
installed even though it is not running, this update appears to disable
the ability of the computer to get past a router.

Except that MANY people have installed said patch that sit behind a 'router'
and have no trouble what-so-ever.

If you are having trouble and do not even have Zone Alarm installed (or if
you do have Zone Alarm installed - have uninstalled Zone Alarm and installed
the latest version of Zone Alarm) - then your problem *is different* and you
should post about it in a new thread with details about your system and what
you have done to try and fix it and what has/has not worked in your trials.

OK, the Zone Alarm update worked; I can now access the internet with the
XP update installed. Very strange that I wasn't even running Zone Alarm
though it is installed.

Thanks Shenan
