I no very little about firewalls.
My setup:

Cable access
4 port SMC Barricade Router
2 computers


I recently installed ZoneAlarm and it is blocking attempts at port access.


And you know this is happening with WAN Internet IP(s) or LAN IP(s) - your machines behind the router?

I thought that having a physical firewall, like the SMC, stopped that at the router?



You may have something else happeing like some kind of mis-config of the router and there are ports open or something like that or it's LAN traffic that ZA is blocking.

These were pings from WAN.
Both computers are behind the SMC.


I did have "Virtual Server" settings, in the SMC Firewall, with service ports 6881-6991 "enabled".
I just unchecked/disabled them. I think I had them that way a long time ago for online gaming.

Would that make a difference?
