KB951746

[angeles75]

Downloaded to 2 computers running ZA PRO. One is running great, no problems.
The other one, will not let me connect with the internet. Both computers are
running separately on same gateway. Any suggestion, besides removing
KB951748. Done this twice, no problems afterward.

Downloaded to 2 computers running ZA PRO. One is running great, no
problems.

PerhapsZA "Internet Zone" on this PC was already set to Medium so it works
regardless of the patch.

The other one, will not let me connect with the internet. Both computers
are
running separately on same gateway. Any suggestion, besides removing
KB951748. Done this twice, no problems afterward.

Someone says ZA has released version 7.0.483.000

Great post!
But with a secure wireless router as the gateway, why use a second
software
firewall anyway?
I browse to port-attacking sites and they can't even see me on the net,
let
alone show a vulnerable port.

Comments appreciated.
