ZoneAlarm Firewall

Zone Labs produces several computer security packages including ZoneAlarm Pro and ZoneAlarm. Though

there are differences in the UI, they are largely the same. Like other PC firewall products, Zone Labs provides

both automatic and manual configuration interfaces. By default, ZoneAlarm will automatically prompt you to

allow Command Center.exe to both access the Internet and to act as a server. Follow these instructions to

ensure ZoneAlarm does not interfere with the operation of WiLife.

UTOMATICALLY

When you first start Command Center, Zone Alarm will automatically provide you with a ZoneAlarm Security

Alert, asking you whether you want to block Command Center. You should always choose

Allow

when the

program name is Command Center.exe and the publisher is WiLife.

1)

Run Command Center.

Check “Remember this setting” and click the Allow button on both the “New Program” and “Server

Program” dialogs.

In some cases, you may need to manually configure ZoneAlarm. This process is not difficult. Follow these steps

to complete the manual firewall setup:

1)

Open the ZoneAlarm control center either from the Start menu or by right-clicking on the ZoneAlarm

icon in the Windows Task bar.
