    I run a Standalone Cable Setup with ZA F V7 .

    Compared to My Settings You may be leaving yourself Open .

    Under Server on all Programs I have XX . Few Programs need Server Rights .

    GHP is Related to Net. Conn. I use VVXX or ??XX .

    Spooler SSA relates to the Printer . If you do not do Online Printing Block or Remove from Program List .

    None of the others show up on My Program List . Block or Remove unless needed.

    I would like to ask u one more thing..

    Please suggest what could be the matter.

    I was able to use Paltalk on my dialup connection but the speed got so low that i couldnt mostly convey my conversation. So i switched to 100Mbps connection. Now i see the speed on netmeter and its usually from 7Kbps which is faster than dail up that gave me 2Kbps. why is that i am not able to connect to paltalk from Lan connection? :(.
    I asked the local provider as to why and he said the local authority of our connection has not permited voice chat and video chats.
    I want to know how did they bound that when the data is in electromagnetic wave format or 010101 format. Is there a way i can run paltalk in my pc through my lan connection?

    Hope you can suggest me some thing to get my self a reasonable assistance.

    Setting ??XX to all Programs is a good Start .

    Next is Browser Settings .
    I use Firefox 99% of the time
    IE= ??XX
    Firefox = VVXX

    Next Security Programs that need Updating =VVXX

    What Security Programs are you running beside ZA ?

    I have not used Paltalk .
