Zone Alarm BLOCKS Age of Empires II-Expansion

[Mitch]

I notice that with Zone Alarm at high settings I cannot use Age of Empires II - Conquerors' Expansion with 2.0a upgrade for Kings in multiplayer mode on the MS Internet Gaming Zone. I notice that, whan I try to play the game there, I get dozens of rejected pings (from 70 to 300) during the attempt.

Should I change the settings on Zone Alarm? The multiplayer mode will probably work if I shut down Zone Alarm. However, I don't like to open myself to hacks during the game.

Anyone have any work arounds?

Thanks in advance.
