GPL/Zone Alarm

I've seen posts like this before but never paid any attention to them because at the time I wasn't using ZA. Now that I am, If I join a GPL server through WV my computer freezes. Do I set GPL.exe through ZA to "allow connect" and "allow server" to have GPL work with ZA running? or do I have to allow the specific IP addresses of the servers?

It is basically what Eldred states, Michael.. I use ZAP instead of ZA and you can pre-set the programs, its paths etc to let it pass thru ZAP but I do not know how to do it for ZA.. sorry Good Luck -Thom_j.

Set it to allow connect & allow server & give it a shot. Be advised you may likely have to turn the security setting on the internet side down to low as well. Good luck. -- Fester

If the game allows it you just press alt+tab and you will see ZA asking if you want to allow x program to connect to the ineternet. Select yes and then it will run fine with ZA. Personally I disable ZA while playing online games because ZA does take up some resources.

Yes I do that when I can but I cant do this in GPL nor in N4 as I run N4 in OpenGL mode.. It wont alt-tab in this mode in N4.. This why I like ZAP over ZA.. :) "0x4E0x6F0x73" wrote:

Yep, causes too many problems for me with online games. I always disable it too. Rafe Mc On Sun, 05 Aug 2001 15:29:19 -0400, 0x4E0x6F0x73 <[email hidden]> wrote:

Even doing everything for GPL and VROC, I was never able to get ZoneAlarm (the free version) to work with GPL when connecting to online races. I removed it and now use hardware firewall protection. SLG "Michael Barlow" <[email hidden]> wrote:

I was also unable to use GPL with Zone Alarm. If you find a solution, please tell us! Because of that I am now using Tiny Personal Firewall. It is also free and also put your computer in stealth mode. And yes, it works with GPL. If you absolutely want to keep ZA, you could just disable it when you play GPL online and activate TPF just for that purpose. 'Evening! Eric

I heard somewhere that if you run GPL in a window the zone alarm alert will pop up when you try multiplayer and then you can tell it to allow connections with this program. That's just a vague memory but it's worth a try. Kirk "Eric Legault" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

No need. Let GPL launch, hit ctrl, alt, del and close GPL. The dialogue box will then be visible.
