i tried logging into chat tonight but it keeps getting blocked by my Zone Alarm.
i got the requiste request for access and clicked allow but it wont let me on.
i did get an invalid certificate warning before that too.

maybe zonealarm doesn't like the invalid certificate. might want to check that as well.

Eh, those software firewalls aren't very good. They're mainly there to prevent YOU from doing something stupid, as opposed to someone doing something mean to you. If you don't do anything stupid, then you don't need one.

User: "What the hell? What is with all these warnings?"

ZoneAlarm: "You're trying to access sites that are blatantly full of malware."

User: "I know. I want to look at boobies."

ZoneAlarm: "I'm sorry, Dave, I can't let you do that."

...

I read that the Eff-Uh-Bee-Eye used to use Zone Alarm, if that's an indicator.
