Zone Alarm 3.0

Has anyone else upgraded this software and had a problem with N20002. After the upgrade the sim won't start? Had to reinstall N2002 and go back to the older version of ZA. It has a new "pop up" feature that would be nice to use, for web surfing etc. Thanks J. Janasov

I suppose the REAL question about ZA is whether it will shutdown when you tell it to. Or basically "do what you tell it to". This has been a very bad problem for ZA in the past... It's a roll of the dice with it (literally). I would highly recommend a similar (but far superior) product called Tiny Personal Firewall. You can get the 100% free PRO version (no "pay me 20 bucks for the features I need" like ZA) over at http://tinysoftware.com . If you game online.... dump ZA in a quick way, and grab yourself Tiny. You won't regret it, and it should be very easy learning curve for you (interface and terminology is similar to ZA... only it actually works). Cheers, Schumi "J.

Ditto here with Tiny Firewall. I have always (all online gaming too) used Tiny since dumping Zone Alarm after a hole was found in it on the 2.6 version (June 2001) and some hacker ex-nayed my KERNEL32.DLL during a 10 hr. ftp download session. The only trouble I've had is setting the rules in their pop up dialog box, which is more graphics driver related. Not being able to alt-tab out of a game in full screen to check the box and allow button, or a resulting screen freeze were the problems. This can be eliminated by setting your rules manually in Administration advanced button. Here is another firewall (New) that is related to Tiny that I'm going to be checking out. (suppose to be more secure). Kerio Personal Firewall (KPF) http://www.kerio.com/parser/mainpage.php?id=204&lg=1 or if that wraps the main page here; http://www.kerio.com -- 1907 - Daytona Beach Florida Glenn H. Curtiss rode a V8 powered motorcycle to a 136.30 mph record in the measured mile. The Chicago Daily News headline reads: "Fastest Mile On Earth, Bullets Are The Only Rivals Of Glenn Curtiss"

tiny doesn't exist anymore, it's been bought over by kerio, they released 2.1.0 3 days ago, and it works perfectly for me. www.kerio.com "Schumi" <[email hidden]> a �crit dans le message de news: b7qj8.128863$[email hidden]... > I suppose the REAL question about ZA is whether it will shutdown when you > tell it to.

I always leave ZA running when I race. I have never had any trouble with ZA interfering with my connection. If your connection to your league's server isn't great, you could try turning ZA off to see if it helps.

I use ZoneAlarm and I have never had a single problem with it. I even leave it running when I sim race or online gaming. I'm also behind a NAT in my router as well. -- Scott B.

What version of ZA do you run? I have 2.6.357. I've had issues with GPL, N4, and N2002. Lockups, etc. It works with Diablo II with no problems. It just occured to me that ZA might be screwing up the video...I have a V5, what card do you have?

Eldred, I'm using whatever the latest version of ZA is. I usually update as soon as it's released. I'm using a Gainward GeForce 3 Ti"450" video card. -- Scott B.

(but I doubt it) I can't even run ZA when playing OFFLINE.

Are you both talking about the free version of ZA, or are you talking about ZA Pro? (the one you pay for). It may be that you have differenct versions.... I'm only curious, as I gave up on an earlier version of ZA (free) and switched to Tiny Personal Firewall (now Kerio). -- Darryl

I'm using the free version, latest update. I just reflexively turn it off now when playing ANY online game. It doesn't play nicely with Dark Age of Camelot either. I assume Eldred is using the free version too - he has to save his money to buy EVERY driving game ever published, or so it seems. EP, do you have WSC yet? It's awesome, you should buy it! Way better than GPL3! =)

Hehe... Yes, I'm using the free version of ZA. Yes, I need to save money, but I can't buy anymore games for a while. AAMOF, I'll be putting some on Ebay to scrounge up some extra funds... :-( I need to pay off some bills in the next couple of years before WSC *does* come out. I should be able to afford it by then. <g> Eldred -- Dale Earnhardt, Sr. R.I.P. 1951-2001 Homepage - http://www.umich.edu/~epickett GPLRank - under construction... Never argue with an idiot.
