Newbie trouble shooting with zone alarm pro
ZAP does have some bugs but that's expected with any fire wall.
First off make sure that the way you connect to the Internet A.K.A. your Internet provider such as AOL ect ect under programs has green check marks in zone alarm to have access to the Internet except for the act as a server option I usually put red X's as hell no lol.
If your on dial up on 56k you might notice a few things that you probably had no clue of but here goes.
In some cases zone alarm pro works to well this causes problems on dial up.
If you have AOL 7.0 or even 6.0 you might notice you cant connect to the Internet the very first time you try to connect.
But you will always connect on the second time this is probably due to zap learning mode in testing the Icmp Protocol along side with udp and 1 TCP flag basically these problems acure when connecting to the Internet the first time on dial ups zap blocks the icmp as will as the udp-aol and you get an immediate TCP flag.
the following problems will accure
1. will not connect on dial up first time
2. Aim instant messenger AOL's stand alone instant messenger and AOL internal messengers wont load( means buddy list wont load or the AOL instant messenger application stand alone will not connect or if it does the talking on aim feature will give you the if you and a buddy are behind different fire walls typical message box its due to this issue.)
3 . If you post reply's on such forums as wilders your reply wont post correctly you get web page not found or not responding there for your post does not go threw.
4. When clicking on several pages moving threw the web fast you will get pretty much a service of denial effect when none of the web pages load correctly you get page 404 not found or page not responding no matter what site you go to.
Solution?
1. First off call AOL and make sure you have the best dial up number in your local area sometimes that stupid auto numbers in your area isn't the best number for connecting to the Internet when using AOL.
Have the AOL guy or woman guide you in putting locale dial up connection dial up numbers in manually?
Find the one that connects the first time and move that one to the top when dialing the Internet so that number is at the top making it the first number you use when trying to reach the Internet threw AOL.
After you done the albolve and found a good 1 dial up local connection first try number go ahead and disconnect and close AOL start up zone alarm pro.
Then click on fire wall tab in zone alarm and click on Zones Tab
Keep zone alarm pro open or hiding in task bar now dial up AOL when it gets to 4 click on zone alarm you will see new Zone alarm Internet connection with a strand of numbers such as for example 283.204.0.0/366.366.0.0 that says Net work Internet.
Right click on it and go to add then scroll down to IP Range.
Now you will get a box pop up with the following words.
1. Zone tab trusted
2. IP Address . . .
3. IP Address . . .
4. Description
With the IP number you saw 283.204.0.0/366.366.0.0 do the following in the pop up box.
1. Zone tab trusted
2. IP Address 283 . 204 .0 .0
3. IP Address 366 . 366 .0 .0
4. Description Internet
Then click OK.
You will find doing this makes connecting to the Internet more easy and more stable.
You might have to do it a few times to get all the safe IP connections From your Internet provider.
For example some IP range connections might be extremely busy so you might have to connect to the Internet a second time and be redirected on to a less busy Internet connection there for add that new IP range number also to your safe zone.
You will notice that you can post and your buddy list will load and you can connect on the first try depending if you were fast enough to add to zone.
you will also notice aim talk works if it does not right click on aim in the right side bottom task bar on AOL instant messenger right click on it select preferences then aim talk
On the box that says AlterNet Internet address check the box or unchecked it lol you have to play with it sometimes this will get it to work=)
