Cuz I'm a Cheapskate I use the free version

I have configured it to allow the IL2.exe prog, to be a server when i host, however it will let some players in, but times out others, anyone offer a solution that dosen't mean spending cash

How do you know it is Zone Alarm causing them to time out? Explain the logic to your deduction and conclusions

use proper margins

fully footnoted

with bibliography.

If I leave ZA active some players join say 50%, others get time out. If I then disable the ZA and re-load same mission all get in ok

OK guess Zone Alarm is the numero uno suspect

Must admit I have not had much experience of recent versions of ZoneAlarm. I had so many problems hosting with it a couple of years back I ditched it in favour of Norton.

No real suggestion as to what to change as the firewall is essentially following a set of simple rules and I can't imagine what could have been set to allow one random player in, but not another.

Not a secret plot to get the best planes was it

I had probs with ZA.

Their answer was, "our freeware firewall is not configured to serve games." The PRO version is.

Yep figured, they want my pennies

Hmmm. Yes. Suspiciously $$$$-oriented response, I'd say.

Didn't get any money from me after that. I bout a router and configured the firewall for that thing.

I did experiment with a less than legal "pro" version I found on p2p program. I like my router better.

Either way, they lost.

Shame on you Willie
