I have just been onto the zonealarm site and mentioned it to them. I was waiting for someone to verify that it wasn't me. I nearly gave up first cos it was sooooo slow. I found out by accident that zonealarm was the culprit. I don't know why it should work outside of zonealarm, or why zonealarm doesn't pick it back up again. (this to me is a bug).
For the end user, you just have to tell him how to do it. Write it down if neccessary. I did find though, that coming the other way, (my PC with zonealarm as the server) and connecting from my linux machine, I had better speed. This was before I found the problem with zonealarm, so it must be a one way thing. Dave. ~~ All I ask is a chance to prove that money can't make me happy.
