Hm, if you have levels of firewall and filtering already, then I don't see a need for ZoneAlarm either.

As always.

Kewl... Do I really need Zone Alarm on though? My router only allows connections through port 80 and has an onboard hardware firewall that prevents DoS attacks n stuff...

Thanks for the Zone Alarm info though I'll check it out!

Wow! I just had this issue... a minute ago. I fixed it, came online, and here's your question. :eek:

For HTTP serving, go into Firewall > Main > Internet/Trusted, and hit "custom". From there you may specify ports and ranges to allow.

My problem was more with connection sharing, though:

Go to the Firewall section of ZoneAlarm, hit the "Advanced" button in the lower-right corner (you may have to enable "custom advanced settings" somewhere first), and select the option, "this computer is an ICS/NAT gateway" under the Internet Connection Sharing heading. (Not sure if this applies to you.)

If I wasn't very clear, blame it on ~15 hours of sleep over the weekend, and let me know.
