Hi, thanks for responding. I am on a DSL connection at home. I am the only user. None of my other programs has trouble connecting. Could I have denied something when I setup Xara? Would a reinstall help possibly?
I prefer not to uninstall if it is not necessary though.
Nancy try removing power to your DSL router for a few seconds then power it up again.
My DSL router sometimes will act up especially after a thunderstorm. It will decide to block some IP address. One time it decided I did not need to read any wikipedia pages and blocked them all. Pulling the power cord out of the socket and counting to 30 then plugging it in again clears the problem until the next power fluctuation or thunderstorm.

Bill is dead right about rebooting your modem/router - definatley worth trying.
Another thing to check that I come across all the time, is a third party firewall is installed. You may have inadvertently given it the wrong answer when it asked about allowing the new outgoing connection when installing XaraXtreme.
If this is the case, you will need to find and edit the rule. This will depend on which firewall software you might be using.
Hopefully Bills suggestion will be the winner
Thank you both. I reboot my DSL modem occasionally but will try that again. The ZoneAlarm rule sounds truer to what may have happened. I don't like my programs trying to access the net when they open so I may have said remember 'no' to Xara.
I don't know how to edit the rule but I'll look around the ZoneAlarm program and see what options it gives me. Thanks. Nancy
I wouldn't do that. The computer could be attacked almost immediately. A better idea would be to go into the ZoneAlarm control panel and look for the list of apps. It should show you what the permissions are for each app. Granted, I haven't used the free version of ZA in several years, and I quit using the pro version after having way too many conflicts and problems with connections, so I can't tell you exactly where it is. You should have access to the list, whatever version you're on.
BTW, I've been using Comodo for 6 or 8 months now, and it seems to be working just fine.
