O.P. Huh?  Help - Networking with ZoneAlarm
I'm trying to confugure ZoneAlarm for my two pc home network. Ive been trying it for a while now and have reached no solution. I posted this at the ZoneLabs forum and received no help at all. If anyone here know a fix to this problem plz help, im desperate

Heres my post from ZoneLabs forum

quote:
OK i have a simple networking problem and i have looked for solution on the internet and nothing has helped.

I have two computers both with Windows XP and ZoneAlarm Security Suite 5.1, and ICF is disabled. THey are both connected to a hub with has internet uplink. They are both on the same workgroup. Both the computers can access the internet. But they cant fileshare nor can they ping each other. Ive tried adding various ip's, ip ranges and subnets to trusted zone set at low level, but still nothing. if i turn off zonealarm it all works nicely. I donot want to get rid of Zonealarm because its a great software. Can some one please help with this??????

also in the logs i get a message that Win32 Generic process from the other computer's ip was blocked, whe this shouldnt be happening because that ip is in the trusted zone.

My solution: don't use it :P Get Norton Anti-Virus and be done, in my experience, Zone Alarm is too constricting o.O

I said Norton Anti-Virus, not Norton Firewall. Just use NO firewall and use Norton Anti-Virus instead - it makes life a WHOLE LOT easier :mipdodgy:

RE: Help - Networking with ZoneAlarm
that's off topic :dodgy:  but i think i can help.. i got the same problem in my network at home only with 3 computers (XP pro, xp home and win98)  all using zonealarm   and i found out you need to add each others IP's in zonealarm itself

here's my example:

[Image: attachment.php?pid=290283]

you need to add a IP ADRESS so na IP range or something.. fill in the name from the person and the IP an trust it  after you did this to both computers   restart and it should work :)

thanks for the reply Twan, but the problem is that i have added the ips for each computer, even the subnets. lots of people have ips like urs, mostly same for each computer except the last part, but the ips of my computers are totally different, even the subnets different.

an you are absolutily sure that there isn't a Other firewall that is not turned off  like the firewall of your router or the XP firewall of some other firewall :S...

but i also didn't knew that IPS could be much different in the same network...

did you allready try to change the ips into something more the same like me ??  and what about different subnets   how can that be ?? :S (srry if that question is stupid)

there is no other firewall than zonealarm, not even ICF, and im 100% sure that its zonealarm beacuse without ZA everything runs fine. even i dont know why i have two subnet, i dont have a router, just a cheap hub, and i have a dsl connection from telus, they give u two diff ips
