I'm running ZoneAlarm on XP. The only sites I can connect to are Chase bank and Paypal. Can't connect to Yahoo or Google, etc. !
Then I shutdown ZoneAlarm and all my problems are fixed. What could this be??

Seems pretty obvious what the problem is. Uninstall the crap.
1.Uninstall/Remove ZA from your OS and DON'T re-install!

2.For the average homeuser, the Windows Firewall in XP does a fantastic job at its core mission and is really all you need if you have an 'real-time' anti-virus program, [another firewall on your router or] other edge protection like SeconfigXP and practise Safe-Hex. The windows firewall deals with inbound protection and therefore does not give you a false sense of security. Best of all, it doesn't implement lots of nonsense like pretending that outbound traffic needs to be monitored. Activate and utilize the Win XP built-in Firewall; Uncheck *all* Programs and Services under the Exception tab.

Good luck :)
I will. I also won't install it on the next machine. There's a wasted license.
I'm running Windows 64. What Internet package do you use?
Windows XP Pro SP3, 32-Bit version.
Sounds like food for thought.
