233650 2004-05-02 07:54:00 i have had ZA installed for ages, and went to look at its setting's today just to make sure they all ok.

and looked in the Firewall section and all is set at high which is normal for my machine,

and then i looked at trusted ? i have never added anything to there, what is supposed to be on there? my pc info or other info???

and the info on there could be telling me what?


still a noob.

233651 2004-05-02 08:19:00 Further to this question : if i have not added anything to the firewall trusted zones will ZA add anything?


and in looking at alerts, what is alien.xtra.co.nz ?

as i was updating and doing checks the threads by robo and mike on this worm thing has made me look closer at my settings and what is going in / out of my machine again.

I think that is one of xtra DNS/name servers or webservers.

The ZoneAlarm trusted area is where you can enter trusted IP addresses and/or ranges. If you had a home network and your machine was 192.168.0.1 you would probably find that ZoneAlarm would set 192.168.0.1-192.168.0.254 as a trusted IP range.

HTH :)

My comp is not networked with any others, so would i have to manually put this address in myself? or ZA puts it in from my comp IP????


where do i find my IP?

233655 2004-05-02 09:35:00 The trusted zone is purely designed to enable communication between computers in your network .

If you don't have a home network set-up there is no reason to have any addresses in the trusted zone .

HTH :)
