Default Zone Alarm & Windows Firewall



I am running Zone Alarm Free Edition and have Windows Firewall (Win XP Pro)
turned Off.

Everytime I change any settings for my wireless network I find that I cannot
connect as Windows Firewall although off has entered my changes in the
execptions tab, I take it if they are set as exceptions they are stilled
Firewalled by Windows XP Firewall?

\how do I get rid of the WIreless Icon in the task bar, I am running Buffalo
Client Manager with Windows Wireless Zero Config disabled so why does the
other icon still appear?

To remove wireless icon.

Start - Network Connections - Right click on the wireless connection icon -
properties then uncheck where it says 'show icon in etc etc' - click ok.

In regards to exception, they shouldn't work if the windows firewall is
disabled. Also try a different software firewall as zonealarm can be
forcibly shut down from internet with a well known exploit.
