Re: ZyWall 2+ firmware 4.01(XU.0) now available

The Swiss people are usually very early with posting new firmwares etc.

This of course reminds me of the most famous chunk of dialogue from "The Third Man," when Orson Welles' character Harry Lime says:

quote:
Don't be so gloomy. After all it's not that awful. Like the fella says, in Italy for 30 years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love - they had 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock.

If its an official ZyXEL firmware release, it should be deployed to all ZyXEL download sites concurrently IMHO.

I agree with you, but I think the swiss guys actually jump the gun a bit and the swiss site is being administered by a distributor and not a branch office, unless something has changed in recent years

Well that explains it, they actually have a responsible person at the helm, vice automated bots that are sick most of the time.

I tried to point this out earlier in the thread, but maybe I didn't make it clear. On the US site this weekend, I did see the 4.01 firmware available for download

»us.zyxel.com/web/support_downloa···13170134

But, by Sunday, when I went back to download it, it was gone. And, hasn't been back since.

So, I don't know that the www.zyxel.ch site is ahead of anything, it may just be lingering from a prior release attempt that has now been revoked from the other Zyxel sites.

I see. It is a bit confusing though. If ZyXEL posted the firmware and then pulled it right away, could possibly mean several things:
1) They jumped the gun and didn't mean to post it yet.
2) Somebody reported a "showstopper" bug and they "recalled" the fw to minimize customer problems and support issues.

So far its working fine for me. 24 hours and counting.
