Zone Alarm is a brand of security software which can act as a firewall, blocking certain ports from being used, unless you configure it to allow them. If you are using the "free" version of Zone Alarm, you will need to change the Internet Zone Security slider to Medium while you are using EchoLink. Other versions of Zone Alarm (such as Zone Alarm Plus and Zone Alarm Pro) let you set more specific rules while leaving the security level at High, which is preferred. For more information, visit Zone alarm's home page Zonelabs.com and don't forget to take advantage of their user forums. Another helpful web site on firewalls is www.echolink.org
