Zone Alarm & DSL

Archived from groups: comp.security.firewalls (More info?)

Is there a problem running Zone Alarm with DSL? Specifically, with SBC
and the 2Wire Home Portal modem. If so, is there any way to work around
the problem? I'm having intermittent connection problems.

Thanks!

It is a bit of a pain but it works for me. The network must be added to
the trusted zone.
Good Luck

ZA usually detects networks and asks if you would like to add it to the
Trusted Zone.
Go to Firewall tab>Zones Tab and see if the IP address
172.16.0.0/255.255.0.0 (NIC to 2Wire)
192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0 (If you have a network)
Look At Alerts and logs>log viewer and see if anything is being blocked
that you are sure is safe. You can add to the Zone from there.
In program control>programs make sure your mail program has permission
to send mail.
If everything is screwed up uninstall and reinstall ZA and let it
configure.
