    Hey,
    I recently got Ripwave from IBB, everything was working fine but I ran some security checks using "Shields Up" (www.grc.com) and it said I had some open ports and NetBIOS and what not.
    I got myself a copy of zonealarm and stopped sharing some ports but when I rebooted I cant connect to my router, I get "connection refused"
    anyone have any ideas on what I may have done or what I should look for?
    (Iam on dialup now...)
    I've tried turning off zone alarm but still nothing, and have reset the router....

    uninstall zonealarm , reboot and try to connect again

    if you are back to normal then download another free firewall such as kerio or tiny

    Thx for your help
    turned out that I had lost all my network settings somehow
    IP Address
    Subnet Mask
    and Default Gateway were all set to 0.0.0.0
    all fixed now
