Just to clarify, i did check the XP firewall after disabling ZA but it was still off. And Ipconfig definatly says the DHCP was enabled and running.
I did manage to connect once to the network using a 169... address but stopped working again. Since competely uninstalling zonealarm altogether and rebooting every thing now works 100% perfectly. I would love to know how ZA managed to balls everything up, even when it was disabled and only a complete uninstall took place. Also, since doing this my PC is handing out 192... address now. I did not realise ZA could mess with what IP's are issued. It's odd that my PDA managed to connect with no issues, even with a 169... IP. Stranger still was that i never added my PDA to the trusted zone, which should not have happened, yet the SB3 would not connect with it added or removed. On top of that, my PDA connected fine with a 169 IP, i even checked once it was connected and it was 169, no mistake. All this because of bloody Zone Alarm. I don't no what it was playing at, really strange. There is no way i am ever using ZA again. Suggestions for an alternative are welcome. Anyway, i am now listening to the new Zuton's album and drinking a nice cold beer (it's very hot here in the UK at the moment) Cheers :) -- dangerous_dom ------------------------------------------------------------------------ dangerous_dom's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1763 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25108 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
