I have several sites I want to add to my Trusted sites in ZAP. But when I put in the url, the program lookup comes back with a cannot find, and I cannot do it. I've tried asking ZAP - no help.Does anyone know if I should be putting the number designation in instead? (Don't know a simple way to look that up, either, sorry!) Or, how I can resolve the problem?TIA, Temu.

The firewall/zones are only meant for networks/ISPs, you don't add web sites to this area, see below.

Zones tab
The Zones tab contains the traffic sources (computers, networks, or sites) you have added to the Trusted Zone or Blocked Zone. It also contains any networks that ZoneAlarm Pro has detected. Use this tab to:

Move a detected network to a different Zone.
Move a computer, host, or site to a different Zone.
Manually add a computer, host, site, or subnet to the Trusted Zone or Blocked Zone.

Tip If you are using a single, non-networked PC, you don't need to use this tab. The traffic source list displays only your ISP's network, which should be in the Internet Zone.

Trusted Zone

The Trusted Zone contains computers you trust want to share resources with.

For example, if you have three home PCs that are linked together in an Ethernet network, you can put each individual computer or the entire network adapter subnet in the ZoneAlarm Pro Trusted Zone. The Trusted Zone's default medium security settings enable you to safely share files, printers, and other resources over the home network. Hackers are confined to the Internet Zone, where high security settings keep you safe.

Thank you for responding to my question. I'll check to see where my ISP is showing up. I understand what you've told me, and I have not linked my two home computers (yet - one of them, quite old, cannot decide if the hard drive is going to work, or not, strange as that may sound- i.e., sometimes I can get it to open, other times I cannot.) The problem was that ZA was blocking and giving me alerts on mail I needed to receive, and I thought that adding the source to the Trusted Zone might allow me to receive the mail, and stop the annoying blocking, but it seems my solution was ill-conceived, and I may have opened myself to future problems.
