Im new to zonealarm, and just wanted to know what most of you that use it on Mirc set the Restrictions to??

For example, when I first connected it asked me if I wanted to allow Mirc access to the Internet.. Well obviously this one had to be answered with YES. But its the second question I am unsure of whether I need it or not??? It asked me if I wanted to allow Mirc access to act as a server?? (or something similar to that).. I tried using Mirc with it enable and disabled and noticed no difference.. What exactly is that Server option in regards to??

I want to say it is to allow me to send files to others?? But again, Im not really sure.. Can anyone shed some light on this subject for me????

Just tell ZA to allow full access and Mirc will operate properly.

The server feature is used for a few things. It is used for Ident, and also for DCC. (and a few other less used features such as finger server). So yes, you probably want to let mIRC act as a server.
