Hi,

Xbox Live only works when I turn ZoneAlarm off. Anyone know how to configure
ZoneAlarm (free version)?

Thanks

?!?!?!?!?! What are you talking about? Unless Zone Alarm is running on
your Xbox it wouldn't do anything! You need to provide much more Info.

I use Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) i.e my xbox is plugged into my pc
which runs ZoneAlarm...and I have to turn off ZoneAlarm for ICS to work.

You need to dig into the documentation for ZoneAlarm to allow traffic from
the IP which your Xbox is using. It is definitely blocking your gaming.

Hi,
I tried to set up a 'Trusted Zone' using the Xbox ip address but it didn't
work. I've now installed Sygate Personal Firewall which let's you do some
more advanced stuff with ports etc.
I'll check it out tonight and let you know if it works.

btw I'm running Win2k which is why I need a seperate firewall.

Bummer. You'll probably do better with Sygate. It isn't as invasive as ZA
is. 8-)
