Mary,

I have just pretty much discovered that. I was unable to download or surf on
the client computers, even though ZA had already prompted me to reduce my
Internet security from high to medium upon booting up and finding ICS
installed.

Question: Given that ICS already provides "protection" in that my
@home-supplied IP address is no longer the address of any of my computers,
host or clients (ICS assigns them all 192.168.0.x addresses), how much more
security to I need. I have long been a fan of Zone Alarm but am really not
sure if I still need it or not?

Opinions?

Michael

Just a note on ZoneAlarm and networks.  If  ZoneAlarm is installed on the
gateway computer, none of your other computers will be able to use the
internet through the gateway computer.  ZoneAlarm can be used on all
computers except the gateway computer connected to the internet.  You will
need to upgrade to ZoneAlarm Pro, which does support networks, to install
ZoneAlarm on the gateway computer.
