Aaaaaand we're cut off AGAIN. See you guys Friday, hopefully. ><
Or not...turns out it wasn't Comcast, it was a Windows update that broke ZoneAlarm. O_o Fixed now, all is well.
Well that confirms my hypothesis. Same thing caused me no end of grief yesterday.
A LOT of people have had it happen, apparently. The preferred workaround, rather than remove the update or ZoneAlarm, is to change ZA's Internet Zone security level from High to Medium.

Why did you update Windoze, anyway? Don't update, Microsoft likes to use Windoze Update to smuggle evilware onto your computer. If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

I do in fact have to agree with him this time. My sister put Windoze Vista SP1 on her laptop and it caused it to asplode in a BFBVFS. DO NOT WANT.

Yeah, I got 2 calls about that as well, friends who installed the Windows Update caused their ZoneAlarm to asplode. Was lovely. Uninstalling it and downloading the new version seemed to be the cure. Gotta love Windows Updates.
For me, my internet has been down more than up for about a month. Stupid squirrel chewed through the cable lines and so they got all corroded. Stupid squirrels. But it's all good now, Comcast man came out and replaced a buttload of cabling and splitters and connectors and all that jazz. Yay is life. I still hate comcast though and plan to switch as soon as possible to something less evil, like ... Verizon FiOS.

Clarificiation: new version of the Windows Update or of ZA?
