Lost Internet Access

dlah · 07-09-2008, 06:52 PM

Suddenly I lost access to the internet from one of 4 networked computers at work. The other 3 can still access the internet normally. I tried using FireFox and IE and neither work.
I use LogMeIn on the malfunctioning computer. If I try to access it from another location it shows as off line.
The network between the computers works fine.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Dan

I found the solution. The latest security update from Microsoft causes a problem with internet access on W2K and XP, supposedly Vista is unaffected. Zone Alarm has posted a work around at: http://download.zonealarm.com/bin/fr...cessIssue.html

The work around is to update to latest version, lower the firewall setting to medium or uninstall the security update.
