Hi Ira

I have a Linksys 4-port Etherfast Cable/DSL router and run Zone
Alarm on each of the machines connected to the router with no
problems.

Do NOT delete Zone Alarm.

That said, it might help if you disable Zone Alarm just until
you get things working with the router. To do that, double click
on the Zone Alarm icon in the system tray to bring up the Zone
Alarm window. Open the "Configure" screen. Remove the check mark
from "Load Zone Alarm at startup" and then reboot the computer.

If you get the router properly without Zone Alarm running, and
it doesn't work with Zone Alarm running, we can worry about that
later.

Regards,
Bill
