More clarification:

Discription from ZA:
"Packet sent from 192.168.1.x (NetBIOS Datagram) to 192.168.1.x (NetBIOS
Datagram) was blocked"

I get this if both directions, incoming and outgoing.

It sounds like your local subnet is not on the trusted list. you should add
the subnet to the trusted zone. I've noticed the pro version detects and
does it automatically. But maybe the other version(can't remember) doesn't.

What port numbers were being accessed? Netbios I think is 445??? or
something like that.

The port numbers vary, but always in the 1xxx range. Sometimes there is no
port # listed. Sometimes it says "NetBIOS Session" other times it says
"NetBIOS Datagram".

If the 192.168.1.* was in the trusted zone you wouldn't get it at all. Its
seeing packets outside of your pc as 'on the internet' even though they are
local.

Would that be the trusted zone under the ACCESS or SERVER heading?

Like I said if anything in the 192.168.1.* range is getting blocked its
because its not trusted and therefore not considered 'local' traffic.

I have zone alarm pro at the moment, and under firewall, theres an option
for zones where you just add 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0. As that trial
expires tonight I'll downgrade it and check for you...

Hey Daniel,
I am slow but steady. With your insight and some more looking at ZA help
files I figured out how to add that IP # to the trusted zone.
Thanks a Million,
John

ok take a look at
http://download.zonelabs.com/bin/media/pdf/zaclient55_u... which
is the manual...

Under firewall protection then managing traffic sources is the information
you need. Basically you select firewall, then within that the zones tab. the
make sure your network is listed as a trusted zone. (assuming all pc's on
this network are your own of course!)

Kind regards,

Daniel
