Thank you for trying to help but I do not understand most of your
instructions. I got as far as proxycfg.exe and the answer I got was:
WinHttpSetings: Direct access <no proxy server>.
I don't know what a proxy server name is or if I have one and don't
know how to use the advanced settings relating to port numbers with
Zone Alarm. I think I will post my problem on the Zone Alarm forum and
maybe someone there can help me with changing those settings rather
that what you suggested.
In general though, I am bugged with Microsoft for not making this
easier. Why would they even suggest turning off my firewall? I have no
trouble with the WindowsXP updates so why does this have to be so much
harder?
Thanks again,
Sandy
