Well, if you are Networking, I suppose your settings are rightfully
different from mine. I am only checked... "For Microsoft Networking Use
These Rules Instead of Filter Rules". And my trusted addresses are a tad
different. But you had Kerio exited, & the problem persisted. Therefore,
it can't be that.
I guess you must get a response from your proxy server as to what those
rules should be.
Too bad "The scan function hangs at 0%" didn't work. You did try
"Windows Update is looking for available updates... 0% complete"? What
were your "LAN Settings"? Actually, I am only checked "Automatically
detect settings" there. I suppose you are checked to use the proxy
server, right? Here is the blurb for that...
"Specifies to connect to the Internet through a proxy server by using
the settings you specify. A proxy server acts as an intermediary between
your internal network (intranet) and the Internet, retrieving files from
remote Web servers."

Thanks or Good Luck,

Naturally, you will not sue,

| Hello PCR
|
| First: YES I did all those below and did not help. I hoped the "The
scan
| function hangs at 0%" would solve it all as it is exactly what isd
| happening, but it did not!
|
| Now, Kerio (As I told you I have tried to download with Kerio off, so
I
| guess what is in the M/S Networking button might not be very useful)
|
| Allow Microsoft networking Name resolution = checked
| From trusted addresses only = checked
|
| Allow other users to accesss my shared folders/ printers = checked (I
had
| two computers networking before)
|
| From trustee adresses only = checked
|
| Trusted address group = 192.168.2.0/255.255.255.0
|
| Hope it helps.
