Hi, I have Zone Alarm Pro. Under the programs section I've added gpl.exe and winvroc.exe and i've ticked 'allow connect' and 'allow server' for both. Despite this if I race with ZAP running, the whole PC freezes dead (not straight away, often during track transitions). Also if I host with ZAP running, no one else can join. I'm not getting any of those yellow pop-up windows from ZAP, so I don't think it's those making GPL crash. Also without ZAP running, hosting and racing online if perfectly fine. Anyone know if ZAP can be made to work with GPL and Vroc? TIA, Simon.
Not sure if it'll work but try changing the security settings from High to medium this "Leaves your computer and servers visible to the Internet" "Simon Brown" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:GEPM7.25295$[email hidden]... > Hi, > > I have Zone Alarm Pro.

Thanks for the help, but I believe he is talking about the freeware Zone Alarm, and not Zone Alarm Pro. Zone Alarm Pro is supposed to work with GPL. Anyway, I'll read the rest of that thread, see if I can pick up some tips.

Turn it off. Much easier than playing with it. Start it up again when you finish your game. David I "Simon Brown" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:GEPM7.25295$[email hidden]...

Simon, I have ZApro as well and get a lock up each time I leave the track. I think it's a bug with it because I have no problem with the other servers I have set up. Just locks up once you leave the race session. I had to manually add it as well. Rafe Mc On Tue, 27 Nov 2001 22:00:53 GMT, "Simon Brown" <[email hidden]> wrote:

I looked for days to find a pattern to when ZoneAlarm worked with GPL/Vroc and when it did not, and I could not find any type of pattern. It works fine on some computers and on others it does not. SLG "Simon Brown" <[email hidden]> wrote:
