Automatic Configuration During Installation

Most personal firewalls will inform you when an application is attempting to use the internet and ask if you want to allow or block it. With ZoneAlarm this request occurs during the Dabra installation by showing the following popup.

If at this time you select Allow from the list and check the box labelled Remember this setting the ZoneAlarm software will configure itself to allow Dabra access to the internet. You will never be prompted again, and the Dabra software will function as intended.

Manual Configuration of the Personal Firewall

If ZoneAlarm was not auto-configured during the installation of Dabra, you can configure it manually to allow Dabra to access the internet.

Launch the ZoneAlarm control panel:
Start > All Programs > Zone Labs > Zone Labs Security

Click on the Program Control label to show a list of all applications that ZoneAlarm is aware of.

To add Dabra to the list of applications click on the Add button. This opens a screen that asks you to locate the application that you want to add. Use the Add Program dialog to locate the Dabra application at:

C:\Program Files\Obvious\Dabra\Bin\DabraAdmin.exe

Once you have selected that DabraAdmin.exe file, ZoneAlarem will redisplay the list of applications that it recognizes. Dabra will now appear in this list with check marks under the access column.

Finally, close the ZoneAlarm window. Dabra is now ready to use.
