| ZoneAlarm security settings
I'm looking to tweak my @home cable access and I realize I need to take down ZoneAlarm to run the tests from DSLR. My question is, does anybody know if there is a setting in ZoneAlarm that will allow certain IP addresses to access my computer while blocking all others? You know, to let diagnostics sites through, and nothing else?
I'm also going to post this in "Tweaks." |

| reply to wkhj Double Click the ZA icon. Security tab - Advanced button - Add button - IP address.
Add 209.191.132.40 - description is east coast server (ny-monitor.dslreports.com)
Also Add 216.200.176.6 - description is the west coast server (dslreports.megapath.net)
Apply those, and go back to the security tab, set the Local Zone to medium.  -- -Mooooo!!! We need more cows in the field! Join the DSLR RC5 Team!
Edited to change the IP address for the East coat Server. The server now has a new name and IP address--WCB!!
