Internet blocked!

Wasted one hour fiddling around. Rebooted my Linksys router, the modem, PC but I still can't access the Internet.

Did some ping tests ... hey, pings worked. However, web access failed so does email access. Damn it, it must be the damn router then ...

So I connect my PC directly to the modem ... same thing!!! Wah, almost grabbed the phone to complain to Singnet.

Well, then I realised then my PC just installed a hotfix from Micro$oft. Well, CP had problems on her PC as well. She also installed the hotfix last night. Well, as a last resort, I decided to shut down my ZoneAlarm, a Windows personal firewall. Hey presto, the webpage loaded successfully.

So here's the culprit:


A search on the Internet shows hundreds of thousands of ZoneAlarm users affected. It's good to know I'm not alone and my router's fine.
