I'm gonna add my input re this thread.

My exper has been mostly with Win9x until very recently.
I still have a WinME hooked on equal terms to the WinXP via retail router. (both using ZA 5.1.033)

I always do 'fresh' reinstalls of ZA updates. Za auto-cfgs the adapters of each computer, but I have to enter both computer's Ips (as
used/assigned by the router) into ZA's Trusted zone. WinXP needs additional Trusted zone entries, both are localhost Ips: 127.0.0.1 and
0.0.0.0
This is to fix some weird XP problem.. I Googled the trouble and found one of the mvps recommending adding the localhosts to cure this
trouble I had at the time.

Re CA's etrust (eztrust whatever)

I briefly tried the 'trial' EZ FW (=ZA 4.xx...) and EZ AV. Neither seemed very complete/thorough. And I didn't want to use EZ's old ver of
the ZA FW. So, on the xp, for awhile, I ran the current ZA (5.1.033) with the EZ AV. Saw no signs of problems, updating, that I recall... but
soon after I deleted EZ AV and installed NAV, so there's no EZ anymore.

..found this thread when Googling to read comments on the LATEST ZA update  :-)
