i would check YOUR firewall settings to make sure they aren't set too high.

Indeed, that's the issue I believe (assuming you're getting Bad HTTP Referer messages). That's a paranoid "privacy" setting you need to disable in Zonealarm

Re: Will not work unless I turn off my Zone Alarm Security

If that all it is. Could you all give it a try and post a message on it.
I can post message here at this PunnBB.org with Zone Alarm is turned on.
But when I try post a message on my PunnBB I cannot unless
Zone Alarm is turned off.

Re: Will not work unless I turn off my Zone Alarm Security

That's because only admins/moderators are subject to that security check. However, like I said, you do not need to disable all of Zonealarm to fix this: you simply need to enable sending your referrer

Re: Will not work unless I turn off my Zone Alarm Security

What  or how do you enable sending your referrer.

ports to open in all firewall:

===============Web server ===============
(HTTP)         80   
(WebDAV)     81
(HTTPS)        443 
(MySQL)       3306
===============FTP ===============
(FTP)            21 
(FTP-Admin) 14147
===============Mail Server===============
(SMTP)         25
(POP3)        110
(IMAP)        143
================Or You Can============
!!! open the port 21 to 8080 and that is all of it !!! 
[/b]
here you can download a port check here portcheck.exe it is a XAMPP PortCheck v1.2 but it will work for all computers & servers smile

Err, Zonealarm doesn't do anything bad afaik

With that NAT/Firewall you cannot control outgoing traffic.

Re: Will not work unless I turn off my Zone Alarm Security

NAT does everything a regular firewall does, just less annoying and better.

ZoneAlarm is an annoying piece of junk. I do remember the time when ZoneAlarm Pro could be activated with a key consisting purely out of 0's tho tongue

I wouldn't agree with this. NAT can't control outgoing traffic, and NAT was never meant to protect computers.

Yes, NAT can't do what a firewall can do but it does a good enough job that you don't need a firewall.

Re: Will not work unless I turn off my Zone Alarm Security

nat+firewall= router+xp.....lol....i use sometime a network monitor to see what all using traffic...

Re: Will not work unless I turn off my Zone Alarm Security

Ok then will someone give it a try and register and post a message see if they have any trouble doing so.

Re: Will not work unless I turn off my Zone Alarm Security

Registered and posted a test message. No issues at all. Not sure why you wanted someone to do that though. The answer is here.

Re: Will not work unless I turn off my Zone Alarm Security

Ok thank you soonotes I was worried that someone with any type of fire wall software on there computer might not be able to post a message. I have zone alarm and I could register but not post a message and there people who register but did not post a message just wanted to check it.

I think this forum (PunBB) might me the best software
