Gordon, You are right..ZoneAlarm is the problem and you will have to work with = the settings to get it to allow access. Unless you have ZoneAlarm on every = one of your computers, I'm not sure it does much for you. I have found the = NAT "firewall" of the Linksys router to be quite adequate for my shared DSL connection without the extra layer of ZoneAlarm. All my opinion...and remember...Free advice is worth what you pay for = it. :-) Lee Gentry -----Original Message----- From: kegswindows-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:kegswindows-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Gordon Morrow Sent: Sunday, May 11, 2003 6:30 PM To: kegswindows@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [kegswindows] Re: 13 May KEGS Windows Hi Dave, I would love to hear anything you have to say about networking XP Home = and XP Pro computers over a home LAN. In our house, a cable modem connects to a Linksys router and then cat 5 cables run to three computers. There is also Zone Alarm on my computer = and that seems to be messing up file sharing.... I must not have my "Trusted Zone" set up properly. I would love to learn more about your home server, too! Thanks much, Gordon P.S. Which SIG do you host, and when is it???
