Strange Computer Issue - Internet Connected, but somethings will not work.

Madkat-Z
I actually may have found a lead. Out of shear desperation to find the problem to my issue, I decided to start shutting down programs one at a time that I was running to see if one of them could of been the culprate. Well the first program I decided to shut down was Zone Alarm. Well as soon as I shut it down and I went to test my Internet...it worked. So I decided to further inspect Zone Alarm Settings. Under Firewall/Zones, I noticed that my wireless card was set to Internet, not trusted. I had my Internet zone set to the highest security level well my trusted zone was set to medium. I went back inforth between the two zones and only when I had the highest security level set my Internet wouldn't work. I don't know too much about how Zone Alarm works, but could that have caused my problem all along? O.o

It may be the problem, because you are using a wireless card, ZoneAlarm can't possibly know that you are using it for accessing the internet. Instead, it treats the card as one of the software that is accessing to the internet. And when it set as an untrusted device, eventually it will be blocked without notice to the user.

Ok...this time I have waited two days before saying "My problem is fixed". Well I have successfully left my computer on for two days strait and my browsers, IM, and my online game can all access the internet without having to restart the computer and/or leave the programs running all night. So I now say this with great happiness...My problem is fixed. biggrin.gif

So ZoneAlarm was my problem. I guess the highest security must have a time out setting in it which I can't change for some reason. So I just set it to medium for my Wireless Card and it works find now.

    for £250 (7)
    Hi, it's my birthday at the beginning of May (8th), and I expect to get roughly £250 or $500. I
    was wondering if anyone knows of any what-you-would-call good deals on a computer. However, if you
    do find any, it would be preferrable they were located in the UK (so no shipping), if they are in
    the US, for example, remember shipping to the UK. Anyway, I want as a minimum of Dual Core

    can't confirm anything. When I bought my graphics card Winfast A6200 TD, a minimum of 400w
    output was needed from the psu and that was I had. But is the psu actually causing the problem of my
    computer restarting? That the psu does not have enough power to handle the functions of the graphics
    card? I was playing PES 6 (Pro Evolution Soccer 6) and everything seemed fine until i....

    I recently got a new computer, a NEC i-Select D5410. A few days ago it started to randomly crash,

    stopped working and the speakers cut out, yet the power light remained on, and the fans were still
    spinning. Opening the DVD and CD drive still worked, so it isn't a power or mobo failure, as far
    as I am aware. In an attempt to remedy the problem I have moved the computer into a more open area
