blocked COX IPs
I have a 3 PC home wireless network using a router and WPA encryption in
Windows XP. It works fine except for intermittent loss of internet access by one OR the other PC every week or two. This is not simultaneous and I could not ever find the reason. I also have Zone Alarm (free version) and just noticed what might be the reason but am not sure. I noticed that the following IPs are being blocked ns2.dc.cox.net [68.100.16.25] ns1.dc.cox.net [68.0.16.30] ns1.ri.cox.net [68.9.16.30] Searching on the internet, I discovered these are COX servers. I plan to place them in the "trusted" firewall zone but was wondering if this was the obvious problem I have been searching for. Is there something I should do with the router too? Thanks.

Re: blocked COX IPs
Hi
If the blockage is permanent, then unblock it, other wise it does not mean too much, there can be pings, and or irrelevant traffic that were blocked from these IPs. Try another Software Firewall, I personally do not find the ZA free, to be friendly for Networks. http://www.ezlan.net/security.html Jack (MVP-Networking).

Re: blocked COX IPs
Thank you. These blocks were listed as incoming and UDP protocols.
