Hey,

I just installed Win2kPro for the first time and this is my first venture into the NT "domain" scuse the pun.....

I installed ZA first off before accessing the internet on a clean install and whenever I now go to use the internet after connection with my ISP is finished 2 programs request to have internet access :

Services and controller App
Generic Host For Win32 Services

I cannot access any sites/email without giving these programs access.

Can anyone tell me why they need to have access to the internet ?????

Also, what are they ?????

and finally, can I stop them and retain internet access ?????

This occured before and after both the SP1 update, and the ZA alarm update that has been released for Win2k with the SP1 installed.

Thanks for any help you might be able to offer me,

MiShY

As far as I know that is normal. It did the same thing to me. It won't have any affect security wise so let 'em through. I went to grc.com and tested my ports and they all came up stealth. I say don't worry about it.
