I checked ZoneAlarm and I run with my Internet Zone Security set to high. I think this blocks TCP port 70 but I used the MS manual workaround anyway.

How can I implement this work-around manually?

Customers can implement the work-around manually by following the steps listed below:

* Right Click on Internet Explorer(IE) Icon on the Desktop or while IE is open, Click on "Tools" and select "Internet Options"
* Click on the "Connections" Tab
* Click on the "LAN Settings..." button
o Uncheck “automatically detect settings”
o If "automatic configuration script" is set, check with your administrator if gopher server is called out.
* Check the "Use proxy server for your LAN..." Checkbox
* Click on the "Advanced..." button
o Ensure “use the same proxy server for all protocols” is unchecked.
* In the "Proxy addresses to use" textbox next to the word Gopher, Type "LocalHost"
* In the "Port" textbox next to the Gopher protocol, Type "1"
* Click 'OK' until the Internet Options Menu disappears.
