X server hangs on startup

[Edwin Goei]

When I run xinit.exe, the X server starts but hangs.  I saw a thread 
that attributed this to Zonealarm which I am also using (version 
5.1.011.000).  I never saw a resolution to the problem.  Is the 
workaround to use a different firewall program?  If so, what firewall 
should I use?

Thanks.
