Security level/Zone

Some Internet games, particularly those that use Java, applets, or other Web-based portal functionality, may not work properly when your Public Zone security level is set to High. High security will also prevent remote game servers from "seeing" your computer. To solve these problems, you can:

  • Change your Public Zone security level to Medium, or
  • Add the IP address of the game server you’re connecting to the Trusted Zone. The game manufacturer’s documentation should indicate the IP address or host name of the server.

To learn how to add a host or IP address to the Trusted Zone, see Adding to the Trusted Zone.

Important - Trusting game servers means trusting the other players in the game. ZoneAlarm security software does not protect you from attacks instigated by fellow gamers in a trusted environment. Make sure that you understand how to configure your browser's security for optimal protection and have the latest service packs installed for the browser you are using.
