Zone Alarm

[bork[e]]

Downloaded ZoneAlarm's free firewall software and I like it so far. I'm running Windows 2k Pro now so I thought I would give 'er a go. Have a few questions though:

I want to set ZoneAlarm back to 100% default level. Block every port except 80. But where it shows how many programs and all are able to access the net, I can't see what all has access and what doesn't. Where do I go to set everything back to default level, and then where do I go to see what all has access...?

Also, the thing blocks about 200 ping per night from different address...this normal??

cool, don't know much about the firewall part of this...and window's xp firewall never told me about all that. So seemed a little weird is all.

I remember zone alarm making everything slow. Haven't used it since, I use pc-cillin's firewall.

hmmm, I did notice a difference in-game with pings and dropped packets to servers I have never had problems with last night...............didn't think twice about it though.

I also don't like how you can't see what programs you have allowed access and their ports ect... maybe someone can tell me how but in pc-chillin can you?

Above is a link to the latest PDF for Zone alarm.

I use it at home for my kids systems. I don't have access to zone alrm
here at work though. So I can't tell you exactly where to check
the program accessing and such.

Look in the Zone Alarm PDF linked above and look for the section:
PROGRAM CONTROL.

Should give you what you need to know.

Sorry I couldn't help out much more.
