So I uninstalled Zone Alarm, rebooted. Had NO internet network. It somehow just disappeared, even after multi reboots. On Win7 it should auto detect and it did not. Called my ISP tech support, who recommended a system restore. Now I'm back online.
Which is why I was so reluctant to uninstall it to begin with. I work for a major ISP in internet billing (not collections) and deal with connectivity concerns all the time. I know that uninstalling virus/firewall programs can wreak all kinds of havoc. And so it did.
Any other way to try to troubleshoot this issue? I'd rather not go through that again.
