Greetings--

If you include the IP (local, behind the firewall)
addresses for your local network machines
in Zone Alarm's access permissions area (or full access)
on its configuration pages (sorry don't remember
what it's called, not being at a machine where it
is installed), save, then restart them, you should
have them all able to see each other as well as
be protected from intruders.

That being said, I uninstalled ZA from my home network
because, even with those inclusions, the firewall
built in to XP seemed not to "want to get along". I could
not see any of the machines on the network. The same happened
when I turned off the XP firewall and let the Panda
software firewall take over. Including the other addresses
to allow access in the Panda configuration was not enough.
The only thing that seems to work on my home network where
my first XP machine acts as a gateway (2 NICs; all computers
access the Internet through it), is to enable the XP firewall,
set up the other computers with the netsetup disk, and 'run
with it'.  According to the "Shields up" web site, my network
tests out as "Full Stealth".
