Ok, maybe that wasn't it. I :mad: was surfing and lost connection
suddenly for no apparent reason. Plus, looked at my other system
(which never loses connection) and it is set to allow computer to
turn off device.

Can you explain the zonealarm procedure, perhaps that will fix the
intermittent connection problem?

I discovered that if I just shut down zonealarm, then restart it, my
connection comes back.
Can you please help me to fix that port access issue you spoke of?

I don't have ZoneAlarm on my computers (the original issue was awhile
ago on one of my parent's computers.) Maybe somebody could post some
more details info, but generally:
Look in the ZoneAlarm log to see what is being blocked. Most home
routers are set to 192.168.0.1, so anything being blocked to/from that
address could be the problem. If I remember, and if it is DNS being
blocked, you need to open up port 53 to the router's address.
