[Dxspider-support] Problems with Zona Alarm Pro!

            For some while now I have been using both Packet access and also Internet access to my local DX Cluster GB7MCB. Recently I have been unable to get the Internet access to work and as usual its a case of back track to see what has changed since then. In my case after many day and nights of burning the midnight oil, I discovered it was caused by an upgrade from Zone Alarm to Zone Alarm Pro! Eventually the only way I can get it working is to turn off Cookie control and Ad blocking within the Privacy section. I have attempted to try all variations of settings and it makes no difference. The only frustrating thing from my point of view is that Zone Alarm does not generate an log entry when access is blocked so I have no idea what the port info is.

        Bottom line, Zone Alarm no impact, Zone Alarm Pro will not work error generated is - java.net SocketExcetion: Socket Read failed connection closed by server. I have proved I'm actually logging on to GB7MCB but Zone Alarm Pro is blocking the return data to my PC. ( unless I defeat the above setting )

        I am sure that there may be a solution to this so I would appreciate any assistance.


Many thanks


Alan
