Thanks for the posts guys. It isn’t too confusing to me with the cross-posts, and I think they’ll all be in this thread now anyway.
Since I’ve already uninstalled Avant during my troubleshooting attempts I didn’t want to reinstall it until I was sure the connection settings were no longer fouled up. I think Avant’s proxy handling would only introduce more variables into the issue. And since Avant is uninstalled I wanted to leave AVG going so I have some virus protection until this is finished. When all this is said & done I will definitely be using Avant and removing AVG, but for now I just want to fix the connection issue.
I won’t worry about slow posts. We all have lives that don’t revolve around this forum, and this is a busy time of year.
I don’t think the issue is ZA. I’ve been taking it down before I make connection attempts, and it doesn’t use a proxy. I’ll take a look at my logs and let you know what I see asap (system is at the other end of the house).
Thanks again for your diligence.
