I would like to run a server on the internet but I think ZA is preventing people from joining unless they join by using my IP.This would not be a dedicated server but one I can play in on the same machine.Any ideas how to configure ZA to allow this short of turning it off?

Welcome,

Basically what your trying to do (from what I understand) is exactly what ZoneAlarm is designed to prevent. Ie allow unknown people to connect to open ports on your system. When you run the game it should prompt zonealarm to pop up and ask if you want to allow the game to function as an internet server, simply selecting Yes should allow the program to get past ZoneAlarm ... but your system does
become unsafe at that point ....
