Hi!
Is anyone else here using old KPF v2.1.5, Windows XP SP2, and with this KB951748? If so, then are you seeing any problems like Windows Explorer crashing randomly (e.g., ntdll.dll) when using Windows Explorer? I uninstalled this KB update and restarted explorer.exe (it crashed actually and I needed to reboot PC), but no crashes now so far. Hmm! Thank you in advance.  -- "I don't know how good ants are at swimmin', but I'd be willing to bet that a good fire'd get their attention." --MacGyver in Trumbo's World episode /\___/\ / /\ /\ \ Phil/Ant @ http://antfarm.home.dhs.org (Personal Web Site) | |o o| | Ant's Quality Foraged Links (AQFL): http://aqfl.net \ _ / Remove ANT from e-mail address: ( ) or Ant is currently not listening to any songs on his home computer. |

Hmm! > > Thank you in advance. KB951748 did update a whole bunch of files involved with your internet connection. It took down and PC with ZoneAlarm firewall, no internet connecton, and the fix for that is to get an updated version of ZA they released yesterday. I've also heard that other firewall programs have had issues, but I don't know what vendors. But the issue with ZoneAlarm has been that the firewall latches into one of the dll's to do its duty, and when the MS update changed the file ZA software failed to acknowledge the change and kept using an old version. Or that's a revised version of problem. This is not a solution for you, but might give you some ideas. Also there was no crash, just a failure to connect to the internet, like you unplugged your cable. IE still seemed to work. HTH. Al. |

Hmm, I do use the simple LAN file sharing with a Linux/Debian box (Samba). According to http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r207...48-Kerio-forum .... majority didn't have problems but one did with his DNS resolution. I wonder if Explorer is calling out even though I use hosts and my old Netgear RT311 router (firmware from 2002 or so). -- Phillip Pi (aka Ant) Senior Software Quality Assurance Analyst ISP/Symantec Online Services, Consumer Business Unit Symantec Corporation www.symantec.com ----------------------------------------------------- Email: C (remove SYMC to reply by e-mail) ----------------------------------------------------- Please do NOT e-mail me for technical support.
