Quote from AmbushHillbilly:
I tried several settings, but finally disabled ZoneAlarm and my trouble went away. I use the built-in firewall in XP now (yes, I know it's not the best, but it works for me).
hey thanks ambush. this week i've been disabling ZA just before launching esignal, and it's been starting properly the first time.
maybe that was it!
if i don't whine anymore, then the problem was definitely ZA
