Netgear Router And Zone Alarm Free

Could someone give me some advice i recently changed my Netgear router from a DG834G to a DG834PN mainly because of the extended range ive always used Zone Alarm free, my old router always worked fine after configuration with Zone Alarm but im having problems with my new router its ok for about 5 minutes then it stops me accessing the internet although my router and network are connected etc once i reboot the router its ok again for 5 mins them same happens again, i realised it was Zone Alarm as this doesn't happen if i disable it,
i cant for the life of me configure ZA to allow the pc to access the internet at the moment im only using the routers built in firewall , i know its something simple but my brains frazzled lol, ide be grateful for some advice thanking you in advance.
Regards
Steve. :hrmph:
 
I don’t think u need a ZA, if u use windows xp service pack 2 and have a hardware firewall , but if u like to use the ZA, just go 2 network connection properties and advanced tab nd try disabling windows firewall (one that comes with xp 's sp2) u should be ok.
 
Hi its ok someone suggested as it worked for him to turn the programme control level down to low then back up again and reboot and it worked thanks for ur reply.
Cheers
Steve :)

Zone Alarm affected my TV Tuner card in the same way - just turned the protection down and then up again and it works fine. I must admit, puzzled me for days and I nearly ditched Zone Alarm for something else.
 
I was told not to use two firewalls at the same time. For example, Zone Alarm and the firewall built into my SpeedTouch 780WL router. Is this true?
If so, which is the best of the two to use?
 
if they were both software firewalls ld agree but l dont see any problem with using a hardware (router) and a software firewall, however ld be more inclined to get rid of the software one and just use the one on the router since it doesnt take computer resources.
 
I know this thread was started ages ago, but I'd like to add my tennersworth if poss.

I've got the Netgear router too and have had to take ZA off after many years of use and use Windows own firewall. My last router was a Thomson Speedtouch and not that bad.

If you've got spyware installed too, think you should be ok with the Netgears own firewall.

I have the above named firewall (not Windows!) and use ZA firewall without any problems I know off. :)
