Have you registered the programme with IBM? If not that could be the problem
also I'd just let the firewall to Always permit connection or configure it
properly. Not likely to get a virus etc.
I'd say it's a Zone alarm problem to be honest! I don't get these using
millenium & my firewall and version 10 is only a slightly improved speech
engine than 9.
