Update:

Unbelievable! I have, and have had a WRT54G LinkSys router for a long time, but I could never get it to work under Vista. I uninstalled ZoneAlarm, shut down my computer, reset my modem and router (both LinkSys), hooked everything back up and restarted. Viola! Everything works perfectly. All functional capabilities of the router (wireless/wired/gateway/router, etc) work just fine. Could it have been me just screwing around with the ZoneAlarm or LinkSys settings that messed things up, or did ZA make some modifications that would force their product to work with Vista and thusly compromise my security? I realize that's a loaded question, but getting rid of ZoneAlarm and resetting all of the hardware to its factory presets makes me wonder what's going on. My subscription to ZA is just about up anyway, so I think I'm going shopping for a new Firewall/AV/AS solution. Any recommendations?

For what it's worth, HT, after the drastic changes...GRC came up clean. I know you don't like Gibson, but it is a useful touchstone as far as the port scanning. I don't know of any other website that offers that in a user-friendly environment. If you have suggestions, please offer them.
