Unable to run online games when running Zonealarm

[holyghost]

I got 3 pc's, a switch & a server running WinGate as internet gateway & Zonealaram as Firewall. Now the problem is whenever I run Zonealarm, I can't play online game but browsing & chatting works fine. If I shut it down, the games work fine but I don't want my network to be too vulnerable. Can someone please help?

this is easy.

go into options and look for something called OPTIONS and the APPLICATIONS and set the Games you want to access the internet to allow on all 4 colums that should do

hope i helped (well it worked for me)

But my games are all on client pc. I didn't run the games on the server. Zonealarm didn't message me wheather to give permission to the games. When I run the games on the client pc, it just keep trying to find the hosts.

yes i know....

it happened to me...are they in the list of the applications that you have let access the net so far if they are then just set them to access the net!

They are not in the list of applications & I can't manually give access to them since they are located on client pc. Do I need to install 1 copy on to the server but I don't use the server to play.

You need to set the program control to low, and make it so ZA does not decide to deny access for the games. ZA is a pain to setup and work with I think.
