The thing is that it doesn't seem to affect everyone. I don't know
what it is that triggers the incompatibility, but it's definitely
there on many systems and there's no apparent cure for it. All the
individuals that I know to have experienced the same problems ended up
moving to another firewall.

Win2k systems, especially post SP1, seem to be particularly prone to
this. The more severe problems where the internet connection is
completely blocked tends to occur after long uptimes. One thing's for
sure, it caused me a lot of frustration searching for the culprit and
my system never found peace until I *uninstalled* ZAP. Though the TB!
connection problems stopped, I still had internet connectivity
problems even when I didn't run it. I haven't had any such problems
since uninstalling ZAP and the problems abruptly ceased after getting
rid of it.
