dllhost.exe

[Paul Simons]

On a network of 4 Win 2000 machines connected to broadband
internet, each PC running Zonealarm, one of the PC's has
just begun warning that dllhost.exe is trying to access
the interent. If I do not grant in permission to do so I
do not get internet access or the use of the network
printer. The thing is it has been working fine without
this permission until now. Any ideas?

Hi Paul,
