Title: ZoneAlarm - Stuck at DirectPlay Test Host
Post by: quircus on August 28, 2003, 05:29:12 am

I have DirectX 9.0b and ZoneAlarm Free edition.

I have set ZoneAlarm to allow both SFC3 and DirectPlay8 as servers and allowed access to internet, but SFC3 still wont get past DirectPlay Test Host while ZoneAlarm is active. If I shut down ZoneAlarm, it works.

Why is this? I don't want to have to shutdown the firewall to play the game.

Try setting the firewall security level to medium if its not already there. Personaly I find ZA to be a pain in the butt, ZAP was better but then again you have to pay If medium does not work, try Sygate, their is a free version at the bottom of this page  here
