My knowledge of firewalls is weak to say the least And I'm hoping for some
advice:
I have four home XP machines connected on a LAN through a 10/100 hub. All
machines can see each other on the network. The principal machine (mine)
has a second NIC which connects to a cable modem and the modem is shared
through Windows. My machine has Zone Alarm (current version although this
problem has been going on for at least the last two upates and is probably
not version related.)
The problem is that, despite having used both the Windows Network Wizard and
also set up manually, one machine steadfastly fails to be able to connect to
the Web when ZA is running. All machines are set up the same and are within
the same IP range and subnet mask. ZA trusted zone contains the entire IP
range but I've also included the IP address of the problem machine, still to
no avail.
The problem came about after the errant machine (my daughter's) suffered a
terminal O/S problem which had to be dealt with by a complete
re-installation. Can someone please point me in the right direction?
Thanks
