In order to log in on FT, I have to turn Zone Alarm off. With Zone Alarm program running, I can get on through AOL, but can't get a valid log in. If I access FT through MSIE, I can get to the main page, but every page beyond that comes up with a 404 error. Opera won't even search.

What am I doing wrong? Here is what I get:

Turn off 'Privacy Controls' and/or 'Cookie Controls'.

OR

Add 'film-tech.com' to the 'Trusted Zone'.

I can't remember if Zone Alarm has the ability to list trusted zones/sites, so you may only be able to turn off the Privacy Controls.

Why?... The site software requires the HTTP_REFERER value to be sent in order to verify certain site viewing requirements are met (legal argeement has been agreed to & uploaded images are actually being viewed on the FT site). The firewall privacy settings block the HTTP_REFERER value from being sent, which AFAIK is against HTTP spec.

Thank, Daryl....ZA seems to be a nice tight program.
