Whenever I go try to go into a chatroom or irc zonealarm blocks it and I don't know how to unblock it. I have gone into the program list and allowed access to Java 2 Platform for all of them but it still doesn't work. Does anyone have any ideas thanks.

Also thanks it works now

I remember from when I used to use ZoneAlarm, it specifically blocks IRC. I can't remember how to unblock it but I know it can be done.

There's an tickbox option somewhere to allow it.

1. Open Zone Alarm.
2. Click IM Security.
3. Click the Advanced button.
4. Unclick the Block IRC check box.

Hope this might solve your problems
