Re: Wireless Hell!
If you are using a router you DO NOT use the Virgin Disc, it will have 0 effect and only ever possibly needs using once when the service is first installed. Try uninstalling the wireless card in device manager and rebooting, this will reload the drivers for it resetting any settings that go with it, allowing you to reconnect to the wireless network and re-entering the key etc. I find most of the time this fixes these sorts of problems HTH  q

Doubt it, though it could be an overprotective firewall, have seen that happen before. Are you using anything other than the windows firewall?

Re: Wireless Hell!
You could try uninstalling ZA.
But you must download the removal toll from there site otherwise your computer will get no conection as ZA will think it has be removed by dodgy means.
It is a good safety feature, but a pain when you want to remove it.

In my experience with Zone Alarm that means nothing.
For your wireless are you using windows networking or manufacturer supplied config utility?
