biltonguy08 Posted July 1, 2006 Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 umm yeah.... ok i have zone alarm firewall (free version) and i dont know how to forward the ports for it. (i wanna be able to do things that require the forwarding of ports). so, i wanna disable zonealarm, but, my windows firewall is disabled. so i go in to enable it and its like greyed so i cant do anything to it, and its stuck on disabled (not recommended). i was wondering if anyone could help me make it so i could enable the windows firewall, or if anyone knows about the free version of zonealarm enough that i can get the ports forwarded. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason.b.c Posted July 1, 2006 Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 so i go in to enable it and its like greyed so i cant do anything to it, and its stuck on disabled (not recommended).I'd say thats because you've got zone alarm installed in there..get the ports forwarded.Ports forwarded..??? What...??? You mean closed or stealthed, Right..??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andsome Posted July 1, 2006 Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 I use Zone Alarm, but the option to switch on Windows Firewall is NOT greyed out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cozofdeath Posted July 1, 2006 Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 Have your tried enabling the windows fire wall in zonealarm instead of the control panel? It's on zonealarms main firewall page then click the advanced button and you should see "Disable Windows Firewall". I believe port forwarding is only for routers. If you cannot get data in or out of zonealarm you can set specific rules if you need to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
