I've tried unsuccessfully to host (non-dedicated server) a Nascar 4 race
using Zonealarm.  How do we do this guys??  I'm aware of the 32766-32809
ports for evidently there's many more ... grrr!

Any help out there??

I don't know, but personally I disable Zonealarm when playing online
games because it takes up resources. So long as you have the latest
security fixes and don't allow file sharing in your network settings
you are pretty safe to run without Zonealarm.

Set the security all the way to the Low setting when using ZA. I haven't
seen anyone get in (unauthorized that is) with this setting and I have
hosted close to a hundred N4 sessions this way. I have mine to LOCK after 5
minutes of inactivity, then when I remotely shut down the server, it locks
five minutes later.

It won't let folks join, BTW, with the LOCK on, or mine won't. So that tells
me that locking the connection after finishing with N4 for the night leaves
my computer as safe as it can be I think.
