WinVroc and firewall.

Anyone here have experiance with Zonealarm and WinVroc? After I installed Zonealarm firewall, WinVroc doesnt work. I get connected and see the race-list and chat. When I try to connect to one of the races it screws up, my screenresolution changes, startmenu is gone and I have to hit the panicbutton to reeboot. It even happens when zonealarm is shut down. I appreciate comments from others with firewalls and WinVroc. Terje.

I've been so far that I have even qualified (badly :-), and chatted after that. And when clicking the green to join, I have been on the grid. Then the screen has jammed, and only help was to reset. That has been the best, usually the screen freezes earlier... And in ZN I have alerts popup off, both VROC and GPL are "allow connect" and "allow server". Somebody wrote here that he manages to join like that, some others have written they cannot... So I couldn't help... :-( Arto

I also had no success with WinVROC after installing Zone Alarm. However, I use Guard Dog as my firewall. It never even gets reviewed, but it performs well on the tests you can run at www.grc.com. Please note that I'm talking about Version 1 -- not 2 or 3. I tried Version2, and it was just a resource hog. If you can find Version 1 (I got it for $10 at a local computer show), I highly recommend it. T S wrote:

I have only tried it 2 times on VROC, but did have no problems. Try this free firewall: http://www.tinysoftware.com/ It is also good on: http://www.grc.com/ Rob.
