Page : <1> :


Does anyone know if ZoneAlarm is capable of blocking my hosting attempts? My logs are showing a lot of ping attempts on the 162 port when I'm trying to host, but I am suspiciously not showing up in the Master Server list.

Could ZoneAlarm be blocking them? If so, does anyone know what I can do to fix it?

AHA!!! When I disabled ZoneAlarm, I showed up on the Master Server list. Cloud even joined briefly.

Yep ZA makes the server unvisible for others. I had that problem myself earlier. Thought I wouldn't disable it just, because you want to host a server... :)

You don't have to let go of one rope before grabbing the other. But you'll have to let go of one if you want to swing forward.

Well, I have a Windows XP firewall too; but it's disabled. I've currently turned off ZoneAlarm and enabled the WinFirewall. It looks like if I purchase ZoneAlarm Pro I can enable hosting through it, but not with the free version.

Yep that's right you can't configure the port settings on the free version.
