There is a search function for the forums but you do have to know which forums to look at. So in no particular order here are some links to threads that have ZoneAlarm information that I put out there:

- Connection probs and opening ports.....que??
- Server Lag Issues, helpful for server admins.
- Compatable firewall for FL Server, more on firewalls in general.
- Port Numbers, more on specific ports in FL.
- Setting up on cable modem, more on simply connecting to the Internet for FL.

Enjoy at your leisure. Your mileage may vary.

See server rules and server news for more info.

For some reason the newest version of ZoneAlram (v. 5.XX) does not like FL, I have the same problem. Truning ZA off or going back a version is about all you can do, either that or get a new firewall. As for pop-ups try a pop-up blocker.

Note the server IP. Find it's port and direct connect.
