Re: Losing Connectivity Almost Every Day

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

Hi Jason and Hombreman - Could you please post your respective information
as to:

- your particular OS - (XPHome or XPPro)
- and SP level - (1 or 2)
- whether you're current w/all updates or not,
- and for Hombreman, whether you're are/were using the XP firewall in
addition to ZA prior to turning off that ZA option,
- and your particular ZA version?

Thanks for providing this info if you will.
