Network Problem. ZoneAlarm Causing Headache

photoshop · 28 Apr 2008 at 23:52

Hi Purchased a WRT54GS today and have got it all setup. All is working apart from my PS3 unable to obtain an IP Address....(says it failed to obtain an IP address)

I think my firewall, Zonealarm Pro, is stopping it from obtaining one.
What setting do i need to change in ZA to allow the PS3 to obtain an IP address and thus going online?

I know its ZA which is causing the problem because it also gave me problems when loading up "http://192.168.1.1"
When ZA is running the contents of that page is not fully displayed but when its not running the page shows full content and i am able to save router settings which i am not able to do when ZA is running.

Any help would be appreciated.

go into the network settings tab and make sure the network range is entered.

So for example enter 192.168.1.1 - 192.168.1.250

That should do it.

How is Zonealarm on the PC stopping a PS3 from getting an IP address from the router?
