Zone Alarm problem

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.basics (More info?)

Since installing Zone Alarm I have been unable to contact my network PC
When I tried to add the network PC to the agreed list I was prevented
because it was not on the approved list.
I have had to uninstall Zone Alarm in order to use the network
How do I add my network PC to Zone Alarm?

Hello, Blair!

I hate to assume anything, so I'll simply ask! (smile) Do you know how to
set 'Trusted' IPs?

First, you need to *know* the actual IP address for each of your computers.
You didn't say which version of Windows you have, but in Windows XP you go to
Start > Run > and type: cmd [enter]

That brings up the DOS window. There you need to type: ipconfig /all

Write down the actual IP address. Do that on *both* (all?) networked
computers.

Open the Zone Alarm Control Center. (You can do this by double-clicking the
Zone Alarm icon in your systray -- lower right-hand corner of your task bar.)

In Zone Alarm click on Firewall (left-hand side in yellow). Then click the
Zones tab.

This is where you ADD 'trusted' IP addresses. On Computer One, you'd need to
add the IP address for Computer Two (three, four, etc.). Then go to Computer
Two and add the IP address for Computer One (three, four, etc.).

Set them for 'Trusted.' When you've finished adding the IP address, then
click OK. Then click on the APPLY button.

By the way, you 'find' your IP address a little differently with other
versions of Windows, so don't let that freak you out! Just let me know which
version you have...

Anyway, that should solve your problem, but let me know if you're still
having problems.

Hi Charlie,
Your reply with your instructions were great! All worked as you specified
and I have Zone Alarm and the network working OK
My only problem is that the indicator for being on line in the right hand
tray is missing so there is no means of knowing when I am off/on line and
no means of cancelling on line.
Any ideas?
Regards
Blair

Thanks for your help. I do have the check box already ticked but still no
icon
But it was the internet connection icon I was referring to.
They both disappeared after I had reinstalled Zone Alarm
