Conflict between SP4 and Zone Alarm

Has anyone had a problem after upgrading Win 2000 with SP4
in connecting with an ISP while using Zone Alarm (free
version)? I use Road Runner as my ISP and after the
upgrade, could not get the network adaptor to release and
renew the IP address as required by RR. After
deactivating Zone Alarm, it works fine. Anyone have any
thoughts?

Check that ZA is letting all the Windows components connect to the
network. Installing SP4 changes a lot of the Win2k system files, and
after they have changed, ZA will not let them connect to the internet
unless you OK it.

Thank you; I'll poke around a bit and try this.
