I have a desktop (XP home) and laptop (XP home) networked with a crossover
cable and can access the internet from both only when I exit Zonealarm (free
version). I have been told that this is a problem if you use ZA freeware
version, but is not a problem if you are running ZA Pro. Any knowledge or
experiences with regards to this would be appreciated.

TIA

Rich

The free version only works with a single PC. If you are using one PC with
internet sharing for another (as in your case) you either need to buy the
Pro Version of use an alternative free firewall that does support multiple
PCs. I too found this out the hard way!

I would dispute this. I have 2 pc's networked through a Linksys router. The
98se box is running the free ZA while the XP box has ZAPro. They are chatting
together perfectly and also both access the 'net without issues.
I believe you have to adjust the security zones to get this to work. Anybody
else remember what to do?

Hi

Yes, you need to set the 'Internet Zone' to Medium on the ICS host for the
client to get out. The Internet Zone can stay at high on the client and
not
affect it's ability to get to the internet. That is, of course, for the
free version and ZA Pro doesn't have that problem.

Just out of interest but did you add the 2nd (non internet) PC to the Hosts
"Trusted" list on ZA? (and vice versa w/ host as trusted on 2nd PC's list)?
