problem with paltalk...

[Dee369]

yesterday i attended the meeting on paltalk...

i initially had sound problem but i re-entered room and it fixed itself...

*****problem*****

when i got off of paltalk i could not access the internet because my firewall would not let me...

kerio had added, while i was in paltalk, as being denied one way access of IE...it had added the denial by itself...

it never asked me for a permit or denial at any time...what the heck happened???

to access the internet i had to go into kerio f/wall and permit the access of IE both ways...

****note****...the only thing that i noticed is that when i went into paltalk it asked me for a confirmation number which i had NEVER received...i had asked for it to be resent late last night and i received it today...

i ask again...what the heck happened????????

I have been using Paltalk for 10 years and never been asked for nor mentioned to a confirmation number.
Kerio firewall was one of the most annoying firewalls I have ever used. If you are on dialup as I believe, you have no reason for firewall anyway as each time you dialup, you are at a different ip address and why slow yourself down even more. Upgrade to XP and have built in firewall.
If you must use a firewall. you will have better results with ZA, though I personally would rather have a "good stiff virus" than any of them on my systems!

like Rich said, I too have no idea what the Paltalk "confirmation #" is, nor, what, if anything, it has to do with firewall.
only thing I can think of is if you made changes to Paltalk settings, Kerio may be set to deny access to the net if changes are made to a program.

I kinda remember having to go thru my email to find the confirmation number that PalTalk wanted. I entered that number and never had any problem with access or anything else.

So looks like a problem with the setup on your firewall.

well it sure does ask for one...it says to protect your personal information...

i am not on dialup and my isp demands that i use a firewall...

i had to change the settings on paltalk to get sound...thats probably what set kerio off then...kerio does that but it never notified me... and that is what baffled me...

i had someone check the settings on my firewall and the settings for paltalk are ok...all of the settings are ok...

i guess i will try and enter that verification number and see what happens....

thank you all for your replies...

yep its probably a setting in Kerio as I mentioned.

As for Paltalk, they must have made changes to their sign-up process since we first signed-up.
