On the other hand, if ZA is working as advertised, why would you need it to 
shut down connectivity? I only do that when I am accessing something I don't 
want to "call home" like a suspect file.

YMMV

I typically bring up ZoneAlarm to shut down all Internet connectivity while 
I'm away from my keyboard (AFK).  This is the perfect time to run SETI, but 
for some reason, BOINC just crashes whenever I bring up the firewall.  Why 
would BOINC need access to the internet/LAN to just process SETI files, 
especially when the
"Disable BOINC Network Access" option is selected?

TIA
