<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I don't know what sort of internet connection you

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>then I would definately consider putting your PC

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>network and using a NAT/firewall/router like the
Netgear DG814 to go out</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>to the internet and remove Zone Alarm from the PC
altogether.</FONT></DIV>

For some while now I have been using both Packet access and
also Internet access to my local DX Cluster GB7MCB. Recently I have been
unable to get the Internet access to work and as usual its a case of back
track to see what has changed since then. In my case after many day and nights
of burning the midnight oil, I discovered it was caused by an upgrade from
Zone Alarm to Zone Alarm Pro! Eventually the only way I can get it working is
to turn off Cookie control and Ad blocking within the Privacy section. I have
attempted to try all variations of settings and it makes no difference. The
only frustrating thing from my point of view is that Zone Alarm does not
generate an log entry when access is blocked so I have no idea what the port
info is.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Bottom
line, Zone Alarm no impact, Zone Alarm Pro will not work error generated is -
<STRONG>java.net SocketExcetion: Socket Read failed connection closed by
server. </STRONG>I have proved I'm actually logging on to GB7MCB but Zone
Alarm Pro is blocking the return data to my PC. ( unless I defeat the above
setting )</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> I am sure
that there may be a solution to this so I would appreciate any
assistance.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Many thanks</FONT></DIV>
