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 Werks.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 LukWerks.

UTOMATICALLY

When you first start Werks, Zone Alarm will automatically provide you with a ZoneAlarm Security Alert, asking

you whether you want to block Werks. You should always choose ALLOW when the program name is Werks.exe

and the publisher is WiLife.

1)

Run Werks.

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

Program” dialogs.

ANUALLY

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.
