Swell!

Oh, so *that* is why my home Internet connection has stopped working. It's probably also why the Verizon tech with whom I was on the phone for an hour last night was completely mystified: A firewall was the one thing she didn't say to check.

Oh, nice.

Well, at least it sounds like an easy fix...

Unfortunately that doesn't explain why MY Internet connection has been off since Tuesday. Unless Time Warner has ZoneAlarm on their systems somewhere.

Speaking of TW, I waited all afternoon for them to show up. They finally called me at 7:30 PM and said they'd be here first thing tomorrow morning. They damn well better show up or I'm switching to DSL ASAP.

ZoneAlarm has issued a patch and workarounds for this.

The weird thing is, this happened to me months ago after a different set of MS updates. I've been depending on my router's firewall since then. Might be time to try ZoneAlarm again.
