Edit: I figured this out right after I posted it. Just ignore me.

A just installed the free version of ZoneAlarm since I learned AIM is not as trustworthy as I thought. Since its been running, I havn't been able to go to new websites (DNS lookup is blocked) unless I turn internet zone security off. Zone alarm gives me the following error:
http://68.40.198.124/images/zonealert.jpg

That IP address is the address for my DLink router on my home network which is doing NAT. I've fully enabled "Generic Host Process" and it doesn't help. Here is my program settings:

http://68.40.198.124/images/zoneprogs.jpg

Any idea of how I can get ZoneAlarm to stop blocking this?

Edit: I had to add my router IP in the Firewall/Zones section of ZoneAlarm to fix it.
