Firewall Troubles... How Do You Make A Server...

<div class="IPBDescription">...appear on Gamespy arcade?</div> I have the free zone-alarm firewall and each time I start a server, It never appears on Gamespy arcade and nobody can connect to it!

is there any way to make a server appear on gamespy arcade and open to outside connection without closing the firewall program?

As I said, I use the free firewall program called Zone Alarm...

    From the little i know about ZoneAlarm, i believe you can.

    Somewhere within the options, there is a tool to add trusted services, in this case, it would be HLDS.
    And usually, the first time you run HLDS w/ Zone Alarm, it asks, "Do you want hlds.exe to act as a server?"
    To this, you answer yes, of course.

    Hope that helped a little.

    The main problem is allowing that program access to the ports it needs. I can't remember if Zone Alarm is selective or not.

    I haven't used Zone Alarm in a month or so, So I don't really remember.

    You do need to set it as a server. You aren't behind any other firewalls are you?

    Such as one in a router?

    Half-life requires port 27015 open I think. Something like that. You can read through the readmes for that info.

    Are you sure about those ports?

    I dont remember HL being on TCP 6003 err whatever.

    Your probably right though.
