Quote - IS there an entry in the Zone Alarm programs list for 127.0.0.1? That's part of Poser 8 as well.

127.0.0.1 might also be named localhost. I am on a mac for poser but do work on win machines at work form time to time. Don't use zone alarm here. But have had issues with firewalls and what win thinks is the "localhost" and a sql app several years ago. Meaning you might not see the ip addy of 127.0.0.1 in zone alarm, but you might see the name localhost instead.
