VNC & Zone Labs Firewall

[Phil Butterworth]

Hi

I use VNC Free 4.1.1. (yes, I will update today....). One server I
communicate with uses Zone Labs Firewall.

When using VNC to control that server, I find that Zone Labs Firewall
dialog boxes, buttons and radios don't respond to keyboard or mouse clicks
from my remote VNC console. Thought it might be a firewall setting but
can't find any switch/setting that modifies this. I also use VNC with
another loal server which has a MacAfee f/w - that works fine.

(Note: The ZL dialogs do respond to local (i.e. directly connected) keyboard
and mouse clicks to the server in the normal way).

Anyone know why? Is there a solution?

Hi Phil,

That's an option in ZoneAlarm - it ignores "synthetic" input events,
produced by other apps on the system, so as to prevent them from
manipulating its dialogs in order to disable it. The option can be disabled
if required - please refer to ZoneAlarm's documentation for details.

Regards,

It's a Zone Alarm setting. Don't know if it can be changed or not, but
somehow it's set up not to accept changes from remote. This question comes
up occasionally.
