Spotty internet connection

From: RipperT on 29 Mar 2010 19:24 File transfer between computers is fine. It's only the internet connection and as I said, IE8 and Firefox behave the same way.

From: LD55ZRA on 30 Mar 2010 21:57 I am saying that the recent updates since September 2009 for Windows XP hasn't met the rigorous testing and quality control expected from a top software company. You can see from the updates newsgroups that the number people having problems with updates has increased 100% and there is no other explanation for this. So one can only conclude that Microsoft is under tremendous pressure to release patches without testing them rigorously. Did you know that Windows 7 has already had 135 updates since September 2009 when it was officially released? Why so many updates in such a short period? Is it because the original product was defective to start with or is it because Microsoft decided to put on sale its beta product to recoup as much cost as possible for testing? hth "RipperT @nOsPaM.nEt>" <<RiPpErT> wrote in message news:%23yFeIJH0KHA.364(a)TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl... > Are you saying Microsoft is deliberately poisoning XP systems with their > updates? > >
From: RipperT on 2 Apr 2010 01:50 I am embarrassed to report that this seems to have been an issue with Zone Alarm Free. I will not be using it anymore. On the plus side, I have a brand new XP system with 4 74GB Raptors in RAID 0 and a P4 Core2 6600 at 2.4GHz and 2 GB RAM. I like it... All help appreciated.

I cannot THANK YOU enough for posting this. All 3 of my XP computers were using Zone Alarm Free.We have lived with horrible to non-usable connectivity for 4 weeks. Very frustrating. Tried everything and got ATT tech support involved multiple times.. no success whatsoever. Your post solved the problem. Thanks.
