PUTER: W2k (yeah its old - but its a backup and works)
Zonealarm
Avast
Cygwin

Yesterday for unknown reasons I could not view anything on the internet.
Avast is blocked in Zonealarm (asks for permission - which I allow when update)
NOTE: I block any/all programs that like to go to the internet on their own!
Only shield active in Avast is WEB

It started to work OK when I turned off that Web Shield.
Any idea why that would happen?
Like Avast database out of date or clobbered?
