3483 TCP and UDP and 9000 TCP are needed.  See

Generally, you can see if the Squeezebox is being 
blocked by looking at the firewall log.  The 
Squeezebox is very insistent, you will see 
requests every 5 seconds or so.  ZoneAlarm may 
have interpreted this as a repeated attack and 
blocked the address.

IMHO the best way to do this is to allow the 
Squeezebox full file-sharing access - add its IP 
address to your Trusted Zone as you would a 
networked PC.  You don't need to know the ports to 
do this, but if you wish you can still restrict ports.

Note you also need to allow SlimServer *external* 
Internet access for two things:

- Internet radio

- checking for a new version

- if you are streaming audio over the Internet, 
say to your work PC

So you need to let the Squeezebox *in* as if it 
was a networked PC, and you need to let SlimServer 
*out* to do those three things.

For extra security you can set SlimServer to only 
accept connections from certain IP addresses. 
127.0.0.1 should be in there to access the 
SlimServer interface on the PC running SlimServer, 
but obviously your Squeezebox's IP address should 
be there too, as should the IP address of any 
Internet PC you would like to stream to.

SqueezeNetwork access is handled through your 
router, not your firewalled PC, so if it worked 
before it should still work.
