288521 2004-11-06 08:11:00 Hi everyone. I've just started having a few... issues... with using P2P and Zonealarm.

Here's the story. I've got Zonealarm Pro v. 5.1.033.000 running. I've also got eMule v. 0.44b, WinMX v. 3.53, SharaAza v. 2.1.0.0 and KaZaA Lite v. 2.0.0 (quite a few aren't there ;)) installed. I *would* say running, and they are, but they can't be used.

eMule connects, and the search works, but it dosen't want to download anything

WinMX works, but searchs are allways around 0.1kB, regardless of the type of host., and what programs I use, and what time it is

Sharaaza connects, but dosen't search

KaZaA can't even connect to the network

These programs have all worked before, but since I upgraded to Zonealarm 5.1.033 they don't work. Uninstalling then installing 5.1.011 dosen't work either

Also FTP clients (except Windows Explorer and FTP voyager) don't get the directory listing, whether it's ilikelinux's server or orcon freehost

Has anyone had this problem, and a solution before? XP HE, 56K dial-up.

Thanks, MM :)

288522 2004-11-06 11:38:00 Have you checked out what ports need to be open for these programs? You might need to configure them manually within ZA Pro. Jen C (20)
288523 2004-11-06 17:16:00 Are you using SP2?? Coz that'll lower the tcp/ip stack for programs like P2P.

MS lowered the amount of connections in SP2.

288524 2004-11-06 22:11:00 ah, found the solution. I'd opened the ports before, but it was a matter of allowing all the .exes to have no monitoring :) Megaman (344)
288525 2004-11-07 03:18:00 gaaaah! it broke again!

I've been to the zonelabs forums, and the emule forums, and reserched. Z-labe blames emule (and other p2p apps). emuld (and other p2p apps) blame zonealarm.

so i'm going round in circles, and i've decided to switch to a firewall that's known to work

does anyone have any idea which would be ideal to switch from zonealarm to?

i've been informed that kerio and outpost work perfectly. anyone had any experience with these two?

thanks, MM :)
