glad to hear that you resolved that problem
in response to your reply post, i was gonna say that since you removed ZA from the startup list, that is what is causing you to not have access to the internet. For some reason, installing ZA alters the tcp/ip stack in such a way that it will not function correctly if ZA does not load. It is nice to hear that you were able to uninstall ZA without any problems. In my experiences, ZA almost never uninstalled without leaving the tcp/ip changed forever, and the only way to resolve it was to
1) always leave a firewall software installed
2) foirmat and reinstall windows and never install a software firewall on it directly
3) create a disk image of your machine before any install of a firewall software, and when you want to remove it, simply restore that image
As you can see, there are practical problems with all 3 methods...
1 is simply not a real solution to the problem, and it doesnt always meet your specifications of a solution. 2 takes time and reinstalling windows to solve every obscure problem really sucks and is akin to solving zits by taking a razor and cutting it off. solution 3 is a plain pain....
I am not sure why there are programs like webhancer out there that will modify your tcp/ip workings. At first, i thought that it was kinda a measure to force people to keep webhancer on their computers, but I am not so sure..
Again, nice to hear that you were able to uninstall ZA and have that fixed!
