ZoneAlarm network recognition?

Hi,

when installing ZoneAlarm (free version or not), it asks if I can trust my
local network managed by my MN-700 router (192.168.0.x in my case). Because
my broadband modem is connected to the router, should I answer "trusted
zone" or not?

Also sometimes ZoneAlarm seems to get confused as, one or few reboots later,
it also suddenly recognizes or sees my WAN address and, again, asks if it
can be trusted or not.

What gives?
Moist

Damned! Forget my question!
I should've checked more carefully the newsgroup. It's just been answered
few messages away by "Grinder and mhicaoidh"

Not so fast. ;-)

The other poster, if memory serves, was asking about his LAN IP range.
If Zone Alarm is detecting a connection, then that is your "WAN" side
connection, and should be in the Internet Zone. Go to your Firewall tab,
and the connection with the inverted T symbol to the left of the name should
be in the Internet Zone.
