Topic: WAMP server users, need help please

are there any out there? i am trying to test out differant CMSs and tweak everything to my liking before i upload it so i've chosen WAMP (www.wampserver.com) because of it's ease of use and just plain simplicity. well when i first installed it i had a dial-up connection and everytime i would fire WAMP up i would disconnect from the net and turn off zonealarm. well now i have cable internet and i listen to alot of streaming music while working on the computer so i keep zonealarm on and for some reason it won't let WAMP work. i have tried to input  http://localhost and 127.0.0.1 as trusted zones and the like but zonealarm still won't let me connect to my localhost until i shut down zonealarm. could i be doing something wrong here? any help is appreciated.

that's another thing, WAMP doesn't show up in the program control list. i've even tried to manually add it.

err alternatives are windows firewall (its much better with SP2) but your best with a hardware firewall such as a router
