Anyone else having occasional connectivity problems with Avast5 (XP SP3)?
Only at startup. Once I get it going ( by turning off shields momentarily,
then start network - get an IP and can turn Avast back on and it's fine)
I see this guy has problems for weeks and Avast support hasn't gotten back
to him.

He's uninstalled, reinstalled, wiped pc and installed Avast and still
intermittent connectivity issues.
For me:
Never a problem with past versions - I've updated as new releases came along
and no problems since update to Avast 5 last month.
When "this happens" Zonealarm has STOP traffic enabled.
It "seems like" Avast has detected a problem but no info at all in any event
logs - other than "started". So I turn off nic, disable Avast shields for 10
minutes, right-click turn on ZA again, re-enable NIc - get an Ip ( from
router or cable box - same thing) , then I can enable shields on Avast and
all is well - until some future reboot and it may/may not have an issue
then.
