Re: Opera as Server?

Thanks Patrick and James, but my status bar shows that Opera Unite is
disabled, and when I go to Tools - Unite Server I see only three
choices:

Enable Opera Unite
What is Opera Unite?
Discover local Opera Unite users
   No local users found

This morning I received another half dozen of these Server Program
alerts from ZoneAlarm Pro, each citing a different port.

Could these alerts be Opera Unite users pinging me somehow, such that
Opera wants to act as a server in order to process them?

Remember, these ZAP alerts cite Opera specifically as wanting to act
as a server and accept connections from the Internet.

At a loss,
Bart
