Zone Alarm/firewall and CS connecting

[Guest]

Hi gang,
I can't connect to internet servers when my Zone Alarm firewall
software is on, even though I have set it to allow CS do everything.

Any ideas on how to run CS and connect w/ ZA still active?

It's annoying having to shutdown ZA all the time.

Sometimes just using the alert tab isn't enough for reason I don't fathom.

Go into Zone Alarm's Program Control tab, use Add to add the Steam
executable, click on the tics for Access - Trusted and Internet, click Allow
for both to get a green checkmark, exit ZA and restart it.

Hey thanks!!!! It just so happened that I figured out as you described
before reading your message, and it's fine now.

I appreciate your help.

BTW, I think ZA is great. I bought the full Sec. Suite version.
