1. Delete LW prefs folder; Deleting LW Preferences folder in OSX

2. (a) If LW Will Not Connect, __
(b) Problems with the search, __ (c) Hostiles List

3. Make sure UPnP is enabled on your wireless router. If it doesn't support UPnP then you will need to forward a port.

4. After opening LW, go to preferences (keyboard shortcut: Deleting LW Preferences folder in OSX) -> Connections & disable Connect on start up. Then go to File menu ... Choose disconnect or connect. So after opening LW, wait 10 mins & connect via the File menu.

Zone Alarm doesn't have a mac version firewall. I don't think that they have a Mac version of any of their software. When you go to the download page for Zone Alarm. It says that most of the Zone Labs software is for Windows 2000/ or Windows XP only. And some of them support Windows Vista. The free version of their firewall supports Windows Vista.
