all right heres the situation my old comp now my moms has windows me, and had an internet connection which was extremely slowed down by adorons firewall which was taking up way too many resources, so i downloaded and installed zonelabs after shutting down/uninstalling the old firewall and restarting, now the internet is completly cut off, uninstalling sonelabs didnt help AT ALL so im coming to our trusted HF looking for help

please, would be greatly appreciated
 
Ok, I am under the impression that you got rid of "adorons" and installed zonealarm... Check and see that the internet connection is not "locked". I am not positive, but I think Zone Alarm automatically locks the internet connection when you install it. It will have a picture of a lock and either have it locked or show it unlocked.
 
when i had zonealarm, and that item was like that the internet was never locked, it just didnt work so i went and got Sygate Personal Firewall
 
What your setup? Do you connect directly to the Internet from your computer through a modem, or do you go through a router? Have you tried the command-line tools like ping? I would also check your network configuration to see if anything has been altered there.
 
all right ill go check and i completely forgot about the pinging ill posdt the status later, have to find out its networkk name
 
Does your computer connect directly to the Internet or does it go via a router/external modem? When you try pinging do you use the name of the target (e.g. www.google.co.uk) or its number (e.g. 66.102.9.147)? If you can't even ping the 'net by IP address then type "ipconfig" in a DOS window and post the output.
