Zonealarm Stops Internet Access!

I've just downloaded and installed ZoneAlarm 4.5.530.000 (free version). For
some reason though it completely stops me accessing the internet. I can
connect fine (I've got ADSL) but unless I shut it down nothing will work. As
soon as I shut it down everything is fine. I'm confused!

I had an older version of it on my old PC which worked fine, so if someone
can even point me to where I can get old versions then that't do!

Thanks

Have you tried removing IE from the blocked programs section?
It would be helpful if you stated what you have or haven't tried.

There is built in to ZA an internet lockout provision. To turn it on/off
you right click on the ZA icon in the task bar. Then click on the
choice of internet control you wish to change. This may be set, by
default, to some setting you don't want.

Sorry, bit of a lack of info - I was in a rush earlier! I've checked the
lockdown and its off, and the relevant programs have access given ok. I've
just setup IE as a server though as it wasn't before, and that seems to be
having some effect on things.

 

Internet Explorer should not be granted server rights.

 

Thanks - just tried it again this morning and it doesn't work now anyway, so
back to the drawing board
