Ok,
DVNT1: Yes, I can access websites outside network just fine, but not ping them. However with Kazaa, I cannot open up the "search" page. I beleve that Kazaa utilizes some form of Internet Explorer into it, and since regular Internet explorer works fine I dont understand why it does this.
Nighthawk: Home networking did not assign IPs. I am running a Linksys router which is acting as a DHCP server, and my IP's seem to be correctly assigned by the router. (It assigns them in ascending order, starting at 192.168.1.100. The router's address is 192.168.1.1)
kcrispin3: I have NOT uninstalled ZoneAlarm. I have removed it's entry in the startup tasks menu. As far as I know it is not being loaded at all. As for the WebHancer problem, I am aware of issues that have arisen with Webhancer; this is one of the main reasons that I did not install it. I un-checked its option when installing Kazaa and it doesn't appear to be in my add-remove programs section. BTW, just out of curiousity, WHY does WebHancer do this (it "turned off" the Internet but not things like AIM on a friends machine, this is how I am aware of it) and is there a fix?
Thanks!!
