You sure did have quite a lot of bad luck with it! I have installed it on a lot of workstations without a problem, and I actually have it installed on a W2K AS that has IIS, FTP, DNS, and mail servers. No problems so far

With windows 2000: Machine 1: I installed ZoneAlarm and rebooted. From that point on windows 2000 refused to come up. I had to repair it. I did not try to install it on that machine again. Machine 2: Installed ZoneAlarm. Seemed to go OK. But I noticed that any time that I got two communications simultaneously (i.e. and ICQ message and a mail message) that my computer would hard lock. This was both consistent and repeatable. Uninstalling ZoneAlarm fixed this issue. Machine 3: ZoneAlarm caused general system instability. Windows 98: General system instability. I am not saying that ZoneAlarm is a bad product. I have seen it work wonderfully on a lot of machines. I personally have not had good luck with it. -Kit -----Original Message----- From: kutulu [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, October 12, 2001 10:17 AM To: Robert Claeson Cc: MDRobertson; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Dee Harrod; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Personal firewalls for laptops On Wed, Oct 10, 2001 at 11:45:10PM +0200, Robert Claeson wrote: > MDRobertson wrote: > > Not wanting to sapm with an advert, but I use > > ZoneAlarm on my laptop, and it work wonders! > > > > http://www.zonealarm.com > I'm having a problem with it - it breaks my PPTP VPN connections from > W2K. Haven't tried IPSec with it yet. Most of the @Home customers in my department use it (approximately 10 of us), along with an IPSec client from Lucent, and it seems to have no adverse effects. I've never tried the built-in IPSec or PPTP that Windows 2000 has, though. --K
