[SlimDevices: Beginners] SqueezeCenter Starting...can't get past this

[mccauleycolm]

Just in case someone out there has a similar problem with their setup as
mine:

I installed SqueezeCenter on a Vista 32bit machine with AVG and
ZoneAlarm. The SqueezeCenter never seemed to get past the
"SqueezeCenter Starting" message in the taskbar. I could not access the
"http://localhost:9000" so had a look through the forums and found these
threads.

I tried using the diagnostic tool provided and found that there was a
problem with port 9000. Initially I thought that another program was
using it e.g. MediaPlayer and checked with the TCP/port. This was not
the problem. I looked into a possible problem with Zonealarm and AVG.
Zonealarm seemed to be the culrit and a new version was available that
specifically addressed this problem. I manually updated Zonealarm and
thought that my problems would be over. Alas no. I checked the version
number of my updated ZoneAlarm and found that the version number was
not 7.1.254 (or over), it was still 7.0.???.

This was a bit strange, so I checked for a specific Zonealarm install
for Vista, downloaded it and everything is now working as expected.

First impressions are very good with this device, still very fond of
Sonos though!

G'luck
