Hi Madhur,

I found that my problems were solved by not running ZA. It is still on
the systems, just not launched. I have had no problems for the last 48
hours, and prior to closing the ZA's I was having browsing problems
perhaps five times per hour.

I have a Linksys router with its own hardware firewall. I had been
running ZA for additional protection.

Now, without ZA what would you suggest in my situation? In your
opinion, is the hardware firewall enough, or should I consider another
software firewall?

Sincere thanks for your comments,
