Hi!

In general, it is very advisable to know what a firewall does and how it works before installing one. In general, ZoneAlarm is a (rather simple) packet filter, i.e. a piece of software that examines network packets as they arrive at or depart from the machine and decides on a set of rules to allow or deny them. If you want a so protected machine to run tomcat and access it from beyond the firewall, you need to add a rule that allows requests from external sources directed at port 80 (or whatever you set your tomcat to listen on) on the local machine and also to allow the responses from tomcat to any external host. If you want to use SSL, you will have to allow those request/response-pairs as well. You should, however concider wether you really need a firewall, if your machine is a pure server that does not serve other purposes. In that case, you should just close all ports you don't need. A closed port is no risk and if the listening software has flaws, a firewall wouldn't protect you either.

Re: [Q] Tomcat ZoneAlarm?
Thanks... I know what a firewall is and what it does. Problem is, with the free version of ZoneAlarm you cannot manually specify ports to allow access on. I know you CAN get it to work, but how I do not know. I need the firewall. It is my home PC on a ADSL connection, permanently connected to the internet. So I use it for basicly everything I do on the internet. --- Philipp Taprogge [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi!

RE: [Q] Tomcat ZoneAlarm?
Riaan: If you are using windows XP you are better off setting the port with the firewall build into XP. To do this go into network, right click the adapter and you should be able to find the fire wall setting there. you can tell it to deny all except... The except is what you would be interested in.

Re: [Q] Tomcat ZoneAlarm?
I am using ZoneAlarm Pro at home and I don't have any problem with Tomcat. I don't know if the free version has this feature or not. You can set ZoneAlarm to the learning mode. That means ZA will allow the application or program that you install to perform its function. Then you can scale back afterward. - Original Message - From: Riaan Oberholzer [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Tomcat Users List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, December 29, 2003 01:40 PM Subject: Re: [Q] Tomcat ZoneAlarm?

Re: [Q] Tomcat ZoneAlarm?
Riaan, I run Tomcat with ZoneAlarm Pro at home and it works. Not only does Tomcat need to be able to access the Internet (even though it's not actually accessing anything outside the localhost) as Phil said, but the browser you are using also needs to be able to access the Internet. The two times I get Page cannot be displayed is 1) I've forgotten to start my standalone version of Tomcat (I still haven't succeeded in getting it to run as a service), or 2) I've forgotten and left ZoneAlarm's manual Internet lock on (the [Z|A] tray icon is a padlock).

Re: [Q] Tomcat ZoneAlarm?
I've used ZoneAlarm in the past. If I remember correctly, you have to select the program and check it for server. If you don't, it blocks inbound traffic. if it is already checked for server, do a right click and it should give you additional properties like blocking all other ports for the application. peter Riaan Oberholzer [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thanks...
