Re: Connecting new laptop to router

Thanks Gregg. I've had a bit more of a play with it and the reason it
isn't connecting seems to have something to do with Zone Alarm. If I
disable it, it will work, but otherwise not. It's Windows 2000, btw.
I'll have a play with it and see if I can figure it out. Thanks.

Make sure you don`t have Zone Alarm set to the highest security,choose
"medium",see if it now works.
