[Xitami-Dev] Houston, we have a problem ...

[Rob Judd]

George,

Actually, I eventually got it to work. The trouble is that I have a 
Linksys router interposed between my PC and the Alcatel ADSL modem, and 
ZoneAlarm didn't know about the new version of Xitami I just installed. 
When it got a reply back from my router it was expecting to see a reply 
from my actual static IP number and panicked.

They didn't build in a proxy setting into the free version, and I don't 
know if the paid-for one has it either. I got around it by plugging 
straight into the ADSL line, invoking Xitami, telling ZA that it was OK 
to let it be a server then going back to the original setup. 

But I will not ever be ONE DAY without a proper firewall again after 
seeing how many people scan the addresses. See also:
