Running on Vista with ZoneAlarm

Post by DDK » Tue Jul 10, 2007 2:01 am

Anyone running TwonkyMedia ok on Vista with ZoneAlarm security suite?
My media player (Dlink DSM320) will talk to TM fine, load the menus as I defined in TM setup, but when I actually try to play some music, it just says playing, waits for 10secs, then moves on to the next song etc etc.
If I leave it running like this for some time, maybe 1/2-1 hour, then all of a sudden it starts actually playing and making sound.
I uninstalled ZA and it works fine.

I tried disabling all functions in ZA, same problem.
I tried manually setting up the port in ZA and other various manual settings. Sometimes when I muck around enough it suddenly starts working, and I can undo all the setting changes I made and it stays working. But reboot the PC and I'm back to square one.

Before installing ZA I had the windows firewall on and logged a post in the beta forum about opening port 9000 to get it working. With ZA installed, the windows firewall is off.

My old PC was windows XP and it all worked fine.
New PC has:
Vista Business 32
TwonkyMedia 4.4
I am an admin
TM running as aservice or app makes no difference

Anyone have any ideas??
Thanks heaps
