Yes, Maxima does work under Windows XP and Windows 7, but some users
do have the 'not connected' problem. Try searching the Maxima mailing
list for "zone alarm." For example
http://www.math.utexas.edu/pipermail/maxima/2011/024238.html
More generally, to search the Maxima mailing list, visit
http://maxima.sourceforge.net/maximalist.html
I don't have any experience with such problems--maybe somebody else on the list
can give you better advice. Good luck.
