    Resolved [RESOLVED] Zone Alarm Firewall (Free) and Vista

    Every time my PC wakes up from sleep, I loose Internet connection. (Cable) The only way I can get it back is to unplug the modem and router for about a minute or so, replug and than restart the computer. This only seems to happen with Zone Alarm (Free) firewall. Tried PC Tools and Comodo free firewalls, Comodo is quite buggy, PC tools seems OK. Neither one has the Internet connection problem.
    Any comments would be appreciated.

    I aasume you have disabled Zone Alarm and went through the process successfully?
    I agree on Comodo...a very good firewall, but it's "learning" process would bug me more than Vista's UAC. It never seemed to actually "learn"...asking me about the same file(s) over and over again. Got tired of it and uninstalled.

    Yes I did, and it worked fine. Eventually I installed PC Tools FW and no more problems.

    Not a grand revelation on my part, but it sounds like ZA is configured to block something essential with the router. Did you do any advanced configuration changes when you installed?

    Course, by default, the network adaptor's power management feature is turned on. Wonder what would happen if you turned it off?
    If you're happy and you know it......it's your meds.

    I don't want to mess with the network adapter's power setting (it is on), PC Tools FW works fine, let the problem be resolved! Thanks for your help.
