Hi John
There is a way to open ports for a program to use in zone alarm. I can't 
and don't remember how right now but I had to do it to let echolink go out. 
If you go to the echolink web site they have a page on fire walls and how 
to do it for their program. You can just use that info for port mapper.  I 
know that port mapper works as I'm running it from a 98 box to a XP box...
