Zone Alarm Pro and Port Forwarding

If ZA is not what I am needing, then can you tell me if there any good software based firewalls which do allow port forwarding??

No. Not if you're just using the Windows-Firewall or not offering unwanted network services. You don't need Zone Alarm then.

Yours, VB.

I already mentioned solutions above. More about disabling unwanted network services you can find here:

What are you talking about? ZA is like any other host based packet filter. You learn how to open the required port. I don't use ZA but it can't be that hard. If nothing else, use Google.

I've tried right clicking on the pes5 segment and can see no option for allowing a specific port.

Like I said, you're not the only one that's used it, find a ZA NG or forum.

JF, Use the Help file inside the ZA interface, or better yet, click on the Link to the ZA Forums, also inside the Help file.

You'll need to create a rule in ZA to allow that port. Rules are a real pain in the ass in ZA in general and not very intuitive, so I'd suggest you ask about this in the official ZA forums and get someone to go thru the steps involved. But it is possible.
