I have GameSpy cleared in ZoneAlarm for Internet access and also to act as a
server.  When I refresh servers it gives me hundreds of UDP "Alerts".  I'm
now running WinXP Pro.  It didn't do this with Win98SE or maybe I had
tweaked something that I now can't remember.

Any suggestions?  Thanks for any replies!

strange since you've given it permission.
next time you have an alert check the " remember this answer the next time i use
this program" tick box on the alert popup window before you hit yes

Thanks Shaggy, but it isn't asking permission.  It's just an "alert"
advising me it's blocked a "ping" to / from the Internet.  The surprising
thing is it's blocking my outgoing signals and references UDP ports!

Under Firewall | Main | Advanced it lists "Allow uncommon protocols at high
security".  Might be something to try tonight.

Adjusting ZoneAlarm to "Medium" security setting for Internet handled the
problem during server refreshes.  On high, it blocked UDP communications.
