You know more than I do, although our minds do get filled with details and I 
sure need refreshers of details often.

I have been successful in writing a few simple samples of sending and/or 
receiving UDP. In particular, see my:

UDP Send and Receive Using CAsyncSocket
http://simplesamples.info/MFC/UDPSendReceive.php

I tried it to see what happens relevant to this discussion, and got some 
interesting results. When I remove ZoneAlarm's configuration of the program, 
so that it does not know anything about the UDPSendReceive program, then 
when I execute the program, ZoneAlarm asks if it can access the internet. If 
I answer by saying to deny access, then the send does not work. However 
every subsequent send (without closing the socket) works. If when I tell 
ZoneAlarm to deny access, I also specify to save that answer, then when I 
execute the program ZoneAlarm does not ask anything, as it should (not), but 
the first send does not work. Every subsequent send does work.

So I am a little confused, but this is not a php topic. I am curious about 
the details and I will check into it when I have time, but I will go to a 
networking group or forum to pursue this further.

I have used ethereal but it has been a while. I have not read that article 
but that is where I am likely to start when I pursue the issues I describe 
above.

I have the following in my hosts file:

127.0.0.1       localhost

I assume that is correct.
