When I log into a game hosted by Harald I get that message.

Yes, the free version of Zone Alarm does not offer the opertunity to open for UDP. The full version does.

Try this... open ZA, select "Firewall" from the menu on the left, go to the "Main" tab, and click the "Custom" button in the "Internet Zone Security" area. Is there an option there to "Allow incoming UDP ports"?

If not, try moving the slider for the Internet Zone from "High" to "Medium" while hosting VSK3
In theory there is no difference between theory and practice, but in practice there is.
