Re: Linksy/firewall problem
I am on my pc right now, through my niebors router, and i am on the internet so that should mean that zonealarm is not on.(one problem solved) but i can still not get on with my router, maybe the router is blocking this wireless some how... is there a way to change that? without reinstalling the router, because it took me about 3 weeks to make it so it would work.
Also, when i had mcafee isntalled, for somereason it is not on my pc anymore, i think the restor erased it, i had the wireless firewall protection thing that mcafee comes with. Maybe that is somehow stopping me from going on the internet. But, i do not see mcafee on my pc.
Also, i tried to hook up this pc directly to the cable modem and it did not work.
The other choice is reinstalling windows, which i would not rather do. also i do not have the correct cd that is on my pc.
Could this problem be because of a virus? or a hacker that changed something? |

"Try this..
Start.. Run... cmd.exe -- click OK
At the prompt type netsh int ip reset c:\reset.log then ENTER
When it returns, type netsh winsock reset then ENTER
Reboot the machine.."
i tried it and it still does not connect or repair but now, when i try to repair it, it stops at...
"connection to the wireless network"
i still get a good signal on my linksys icon and a signal in the little pc on teh bottom of the screen, but still no packets recieved.
i have also tried to connect to a different router, one with no firewall and a very weak signal, and i still did not get internet. I used AOL as teh internet browser and it said that it could not connect to the internet, stoped at 1. |

"Did you try accessing the internet on that PC WITHOUT the router, just to see if that makes a difference?"
I did and it worked when i plugged it into the pc directly, not though the router. Then i went back and plugged in the wireless and it did not work so i went back to it directly and it did not work.
So... it worked but then did not work the second time. Also, my Windows Security Alert says that i dont have a firewall on, so i believe i got rid of zonealarm. Now it must be the wireless not communicating with the router. Is there a way to fix this? without using the Repair option for the wireless, because it does not work, it stops at...
Windows could not finish repairing the problem becuase the following action cannot be completed:
Failed to query TCP/IP settings of the connection. Cannot proceed.
But when i am on the pc with the internet cable directly, it got to "Renewing IP Address" but then could not renew it.
Thanks for all your help so far and hopefully we can fix this problem |

I have now compleatly uninstalled ZoneAlarm using...
»forum.zonelabs.org/zonelabs/boar···e.id=103
My bubble that says that a virus program is missing, now also says that i do not have a firewall. I get a signal in linksys but still can not access then internet. I still see that there are no packets being received.
Now what else could it be? Could it be that my wireless is acting up? or is zonealarm still not uninstalled? eventhough i did what the site said to do.
I have Windows XP home addition |

I have now tried to use the linksys as wireless zero and it still did not work. I now believe it is not the firewall, but could be wrong. I switched it back to linksys, and i get a signal, both on linksys and the pc icon on the bottom right corner. It still does not show any received packets but sopposily, from my friend, that does not matter. He thinks that it is just the wireless router acting up. Is this true? Or is there another reason why i do not get internet, since i still get internet on my main pc with the router. I have also tried to reset, unplug, the router and the cable modem, but still did not work.
Sorry for posting 3 times in a row but just wanted to give you some follow up.
It's most likely ZA having been corrupted by a bad uninstall, but to be sure, pull the router and hook the PC up directly to the modem, just to see if will then get online. If it does, you'll know it's the router.
You didn't say what OS you're using (unless I missed it)....if you're using XP, you don't by any chance have the XP firewall turned on, do you? There could also have been a conflict between it and ZA if you do.
I would try following the directions in the links we provided for uninstalling ZA correctly, even though it's obviously corrupted now. Make SURE to uncheck "Load at startup" before rebooting and continuing!

said by Greenshadow :I have just finished restoring and tried to reinstall zonealarm, by just clicking on the install icon and it said some error like, could not load some temp folder or somthing. It sounds like it is ZA Corruption issue.
Also, when i opened up zonealarm, i saw nothing in the menu, only the STOP and what programs were running, i did not see any tabs nor writing nor anything else, it was all blank. If you need a pic, let me know and i will see what i can do.
Go to the start menu right click on the ZA icon & go to properties,you should see something like this ("C:\Program Files\Zone Labs\ZoneAlarm\zlclient.exe") add a space /clean; (C:\ProgramFiles\ZoneLabs\ZoneAlarm\zlclient.exe /clean) the save and exit.
If that will not allow you to remove ZA completly, the your best chance for help is here..

So far thanks for all your help, i am trying a system restore and then will try to reinstall zonealarm then delete it.....
i think you have missed my main question, maybe i just made it to wordy or whatever, anyways, before that, is it possible that zonealarm will block all internet access after i try to manualy uninstall?
Yes if ZA isn't removed correctly it will prevent internet access.
Now for the main problem, i have a linksys wireless-g router with speedboost and it is getting a signal, but i can not get onto the internet. I opened up Local Area Connection Status by double clicking on the computer icon on the lower right of the screen and i noticed that there is no packets being recieved, but there is some being sent. This may be why my internet does not work. Is there anyway to fix this?
IMHO that both problems are centered around your ZA issue; normally ZA will detect your local network (anything behind the router); to give these PC`s access to the internet the network must be put in ZA`s "Trusted Zone". If ZA is Corrupted it most likely preventing the router from connecting.
